Moment of inertia of disk w.r.t. principle axis (1) =MR22

Moment of inertia of disk w.r.t. diametrical axis (2)

From perpendicular axes theorem

Iz=Ix+Iy(i)

here Ix=Iy, because both are diametrical axis,

So here  Iz=MR22and Ix=Iy=I( Let )

So from eq. (i)

MR22=I+II=MR24

For half disk also, it is applicable, So

I=MR24

(It does not depend on θ given in diagram, because given axis is also similar to diametrical axis)
