In school, I'm doing this thing called moment of inertia given by the formula
[tex]I = \int y^2 dA[/tex]
If the object being solved for is a rectangle where the base of it is parallel to the x axis, dA is equal to xdy. From there, the integration is easy. If the object to solve the integration for is a circle (or anything with slants like a triangle), I don't know how to do it. How do I solve for dA of a circle?
