Head templates: {{en-noun|-}} perpendicular axis theorem (uncountable)
  1. (physics) A theorem that states the moment of inertia of a planar lamina (i.e. 2-D body) about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the lamina is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of the lamina about the two axes at right angles to each other, in its own plane intersecting each other at the point where the perpendicular axis passes through it.
