Rotation Bodies - moment of inertia of square sheet

A square sheet with a uniform density and total mass m is pivoted about an axis A in one corner of the sheet and perpendicular to the plane of the sheet as shown below. If the moment of inertia of the sheet about this axis is http://moodle.phys.ualberta.ca/filte...b693682da0.gif, what is the sheet's moment of inertia about a parallel axis, B, at the mid-point of one of its sides?

use the parallel axis theorem ...

so with part of the equation md^2
would I divid that by 2 to get the mid point
and then solve for Icm ?
