Help me out /sci/. I just had this test where I needed to calculate the moment of intertia of a thin plate of mass M cut in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side length L as it rotates around one of its vertices (the axis of rotation is parallel to the C' axis shown in the pic).
I got [math]\frac{11}{12}ML^{2}[/math] but it doesn't seem right.

you could take the moment of inertia of a hexagon around its center and divide by 6. I got (5/24)ML^2. you could verify this with some chart online or any CAD program
