For a uniform planar lamina with and , put , . The Jacobian determinant is one, the mass is , and symmetry puts the centre of mass at zero. Uniform rectangular moments give , , . Substitution into yields the displayed inertia tensor. The in-plane principal moments of inertia are ; the perpendicular moment is their sum. This separates the geometric shear from the elementary rectangular integrals.
