Moment of Inertia of a Cube

This calculation is for the moment of inertia of a cube.  For the purposes of this calculation, a cube can have three equal sides or it can have three non-equal sides.  The moment of inertia is calculated three different ways, about the center of the I_height, I_width and about the end I_length directions: Z-axis, Y-axis and X-axis, respectively.
