Because the axes being used for the calculation are not the same ones shown in Fig. 6.7. The calculation axes are shown at the lower right-hand part of the page, just above the table.werson tan said:

The centroid of an object is the geometric center of the object, also known as its center of mass. It is the point where all the weight of the object can be considered to be concentrated.
Yes, an axis can pass through the centroid of an object. In fact, the centroid is often used as a reference point for determining the location of axes passing through an object.
An axis passing through the centroid of an object does not affect its stability, as the centroid is the point of balance for the object. This means that the object will not rotate or tip over when a force is applied along this axis.
In engineering, an axis passing through the centroid is often used as a reference point for calculating moments of inertia, which is important for analyzing the structural stability and strength of an object.
The location of an axis passing through the centroid of a complex object can be determined by finding the centroid of each individual component of the object and then finding the average location of all the centroids. This average point will be the centroid of the entire object and can be used as the reference point for the axis.
