Dear DareDev
You are wrong.The answer I have is m(a2+b2)3.Please try again.

how they derived in case of a rod?

proceeding in the similar way we can find the MI of the rectangular plate wrt a axis perpendicular to the plane of the rectangle which is at right angle with the side "a"

let it be Ix

Ix will be equal to ma212

similarly Iy = mb212

so Iz = Ix + Iy

now using parallel axis theorem shift the axis to a distance equal to half of the length of the diagonal of the rectangle ;)

I agree with Subho!

The answer is M(a2+b2)/3 if we find the MI about an axis passing through a corner perpendicular to the plane . We have MI=Ma2/12+Mb2/12+M(√(a/2)2+(b/2)2)2 =M(a2+b2)/3
