Answer

$\theta=6.08^{\circ}$ $I_{max}=1.74\times 10^3in^4$ and $I_{min}=435in^4$

Work Step by Step

We can find the orientation of the principal axes and the required principle moments of inertia as follows: $tan2\theta=\frac{-2I}{I_x-I_y}$ $\implies tan2\theta=\frac{-2(188)}{450-1730}$ $\implies \theta=6.08^{\circ}$ Now $I_{max/min}=\frac{I_x+I_y}{2}\pm \sqrt{(\frac{I_x-I_y}{2})^2+I_{xy}^2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_{max/min}=\frac{450+1730}{2}\pm \sqrt{(\frac{450-1730}{2})^2++(138)^2}$ This simplifies to: $I_{max}=1.74\times 10^3in^4$ and $I_{min}=435in^4$
