Comparing beam A and beam B

A value for I is required about the x-x axis for a simple rectangle like the beam in the diagram which is shown in two orientations.

this picture contains following scene. Two diagrams of oblong beams with x and y axes marked. For beam A the breath (b) is 50 mm and the depth (d) is 200 mm. For beam B the b is 200 mm and d is 50 mm. An equation: Ixx = bd3 divided by 12.

Calculating I

Use the formula: An equation: Ixx = bd3 divided by 12. where b = breadth (width) and d = depth (height) to calculate the moment of inertia about the x-x axis for beams A and B using information from the diagram.
