What you learn in Theory:
The perpendicular axis theorem (or plane figure theorem) can be used to determine the moment of inertia of a rigid object that lies entirely within a plane, about an axis perpendicular to the plane, given the moments of inertia of the object about two perpendicular axes lying within the plane.
What you learn in Practice:
The Perpendicular Axis Theorem states that the moment of inertia of a planar object about the axis perpendicular to the plane is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about two perpendicular axes in the plane.
