Moment of inertia of a DISC

Let I=Moment of inertia of a DISC about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its plane
To calculate I
Consider a circular disc of mass M , radius R and centre O .
And mass per unit area $=\sigma=\frac{M}{\pi R^2}$

Take an elementary ring of mass dm of radius x as shown in figure
So, $^{d m}=\sigma *(2 \pi x d x)=\frac{M}{\pi R^2} *(2 \pi x d x)$

$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow d I & =x^2 d m \\
I & =\int d I=\int_0^R x^2 *\left(\frac{M}{\pi R^2} *(2 \pi x d x)\right)=\frac{2 M}{R^2} \int_0^R x^3 d x=\frac{M R^2}{2}
\end{aligned}
