The parallel axes theorem adds to the centre of mass value the mass times:

ADistance squared
BDistance cubed
CHalf the distance
DTwice the distance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Distance squared
1. The theorem relates two moments of inertia about parallel axes. 2. The extra term involves the separation of the two axes. 3. It is the mass times the square of that perpendicular distance. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 7, Systems of Particles and Rotational Motion._
