### area of a Cross formula

$$\large{ A = l \; t + s \; \left( w \;-\; t \right) }$$

Where:

$$\large{ A }$$ = area

$$\large{ l }$$ = height

$$\large{ s }$$ = thickness

$$\large{ t }$$ = thickness

$$\large{ w }$$ = width

### Perimeter of a Cross formula

$$\large{ A = 2 \; \left( w + l \right) }$$

Where:

$$\large{ A }$$ = area

$$\large{ l }$$ = height

$$\large{ w }$$ = width

### Distance from Centroid of a Cross formula

$$\large{ C_x = \frac { w } { 2 } }$$

$$\large{ C_y = \frac { l } { 2 } }$$

Where:

$$\large{ C }$$ = distance from centroid

$$\large{ l }$$ = height

$$\large{ w }$$ = width

### Elastic Section Modulus of a Cross formula

$$\large{ S_{x} = \frac { I_{x} } { C_{y} } }$$

$$\large{ S_{y} = \frac { I_{y} } { C_{x} } }$$

Where:

### Radius of Gyration of a Cross formula

$$\large{ k_{x} = \sqrt { \frac { tl^3 \;+\; s^3 \; \left( w \;-\; t \right) } { 12 \; \left[ lt \;+\; s \; \left( w \;-\; t \right) \right] } } }$$

$$\large{ k_{y} = \sqrt { \frac { sw^3 \;+\; t^3 \; \left( l \;-\; s \right) } { 12 \; \left[ lt \;+\; s \; \left( w \;-\; t \right) \right] } } }$$

$$\large{ k_{z} = \sqrt { k_{x}{^2} + k_{y}{^2} } }$$

$$\large{ k_{x1} = \sqrt { \frac { I_{x1} } { A } } }$$

$$\large{ k_{y1} = \sqrt { \frac { I_{y1} } { A } } }$$

$$\large{ I_{x} = \frac { sw^3 \;+\; t^3 \; \left( l \;-\; s \right) } {12} }$$

$$\large{ I_{x1} = I_{x} + A \; C_{y}{^2} }$$

$$\large{ I_{y1} = I_{y} + A \; C_{x}{^2} }$$

Where:

$$\large{ I }$$ = moment of inertia

$$\large{ A }$$ = area
