Find the surface area of a cow using the zero-order RegionMoment:
Find its centroid using the first-order moments for each of the axes:
Verify the results using RegionMeasure and RegionCentroid:
Find the covariance matrix of a constant-density distribution defined by a region:
Transform the region so that its RegionCentroid is at the origin:
Compute the matrix of second-order moments and normalize it by dividing by RegionMeasure:

The sphere has the same surface area and centroid as the cow:
Properties & Relations (8)
Zero-order moment for curves is equivalent to ArcLength:
Zero-order moment for surfaces is equivalent to Area:
Zero-order moment for volumes is equivalent to Volume:
The zero-order moment for any region is equivalent to the RegionMeasure:
RegionCentroid is the first moments divided by the zero moment:
MomentOfInertia can compute the moment of inertia matrix wrt to the origin consisting of multiple region moments:
RegionMoment computes corresponding to a uniform density:
CentralMoment computes for a PDF and centroid :
After centering the region, this becomes a standard moment:
As in the previous example, RegionMoment assumes uniform distribution:
