To solve this problem, we first need to find the center of mass (CM) of the combined lamina, which consists of a square ABCD and an isosceles triangle BCE.

Let's set up a coordinate system with point A at the origin (0,0)(0,0).
The side length of the square ABCD is 6a6a.
The coordinates of the vertices are:
A = (0,0)(0,0)
B = (6a,0)(6a,0)
C = (6a,6a)(6a,6a)
D = (0,6a)(0,6a)

For the isosceles triangle BCE, BC=6aBC = 6a. The diagram shows BE=CE=5aBE = CE = 5a.
Let E be (xE,yE)(x_E, y_E). Since it's an isosceles triangle with base BC,
