उत्तर १
The theorem of perpendicular axes states that the moment of inertia of a planar body (lamina) about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of its moments of inertia about two perpendicular axes concurrent with the perpendicular axis and lying in the plane of the body.
A physical body with centre O and a point mass m,in the x–y plane at (x, y) is shown in the following figure.

Moment of inertia about x-axis, Ix = mx2
Moment of inertia about y-axis, Iy = my2
Moment of inertia about z-axis, Iz = `m(sqrt(x^2 + y^2))^2`
Ix + Iy = mx2 + my2
= m(x2 + y2)
`= m(sqrt(x^2 + y^2))`
`I_x + I_y = I_z`
Hence the theorem is proved
उत्तर २
The theorem of perpendicular axes: According to this theorem, the moment of inertia of a plane lamina (i.e., a two dimensional body of any shape/size) about any axis OZ perpendicular to the plane of the lamina is equal to sum of the moments of inertia of the lamina about any two mutually perpendicular axes OX and OY in the plane of lamina, meeting at a point where the given axis OZ passes through the lamina. Suppose at the point ‘R’ m{ particle is situated moment of inertia about Z axis of lamina
= moment of inertia of body about r-axis
= moment of inertia of the body about y-axis.
