Consider a three-segment wire with mass M and ( x , y ) vertices as shown in the figure above. The moment of inertia relative to an axis perpendicular to the x y plane and passing through ( 0 , 0 ) can be expressed as α M .
Enter ⌊ α ⌋ as your answer.
Assume that we neglect units.
Notation : ⌊ ⋅ ⌋ denotes the floor function .

@Steven Chase
after 5-8 years whenever I will launch that software how can I communicate with you.
I don't know your anything like phone number, location.
Maybe at that time Brilliant site will be closed, so what will I do??

Just Brilliant, so let's hope it keeps going

lets imagine if it gets closed then??
Anything is possible in this world.

@Steven Chase
hello ,so i am back ,why game over? ,
i will come to SEL and will say i want to interact with Mr.Chase .
this will be ok to you ?

@Talulah Riley – No, don't do that

@Steven Chase – @Steven Chase but what is wrong in that?
@Steven Chase – @Steven Chase why you want to live so secretly ?

@Steven Chase ok .As you wish.
but one thing which i want to ask is why you want to live so secretly ??
i am a very good guy in my social life.
@Steven Chase Do you add any name in your middle like in my name i have 3 word so in your name , is there any middle word exist??
I initially got this question wrong, but afterwards I obtained a solution. Here it is:
First we denote the point ( 0 , 0 ) to be A , ( 1 , 2 ) to be B , ( 3 , 1 ) to be C and ( 4 , 5 ) to be D . Then, the midpoint of A B is given by ( 0 . 5 , 1 ) with a distance of 5 from A . The midpoint of B C is ( 2 , 1 . 5 ) , with a distance of 6 . 2 5 from the origin. The midpoint of C D is ( 3 . 5 , 3 ) , with a distance of 2 1 . 2 5 from the origin.
Now, we observe that the mass of segment A B , B C and C D are given by ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ A B ∣ M ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ B C ∣ M ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ C D ∣ M
We know that the moment of inertia relative to an axis perpendicular to the x y plane and passing through A can be expressed as ∑ m r 2 , where m is the mass of each point and r is the distance of that point to A . Hence, we have
I = m a b ∣ A B ∣ 2 + m b c ∣ B C ∣ 2 + m c d ∣ C D ∣ 2 = 5 ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ A B ∣ M + 6 . 2 5 ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ B C ∣ M + 2 1 . 2 5 ∣ A B ∣ + ∣ B C ∣ + ∣ C D ∣ ∣ C D ∣ M ≈ 1 3 . 1 2 M
So the answer is 13.
Why are we using 5 with m(ab)? The r^2 I found was 1.25.
