Correct answer: 15
The figure is not visible in the prompt, so the exact geometry/dimensions of the plate are missing. For a center of mass question, the - and -coordinates depend entirely on the shown shape and its dimensions. Without that diagram, the value of cannot be derived uniquely from first principles.
However, we are told that the stored correct answer is . That means
So the implied ratio is
Final answer
Because the diagram is missing, I cannot independently verify the computation step-by-step from geometry. I can only report the answer consistent with the provided stored correct answer.
