I need help with this activity. Could you please help me out? Thank you!!!

I don't know how to start the activity.

Find the centroid of the figure bounded by x = (y+2)^2 and x=5

a. Make a graph of the figure.

b. Compute M.

c. Compute My

d. Compute Xc (the x centroid)

e. Compute Mx

f. Compute Yc (the y centroid)

g. Draw your centroid on a plot of the triangle.

h. Does it look like the center of gravity of the figure?

Start with question (a): Have you drawn a graph? Do so, and show it to us. Go as far as you can, even if you think you are wrong. That is the only way we can find out where you really need help.

Ok, thank you very much. I don't know how to do the graph but I will try and post again.
