$A$ thin uniform rectangular plate of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about the $x$-axis is $I_{x}=0.2 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$ and the moment of inertia about the $y$-axis is $I_{y}=0.3 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$. The radius of gyration of the plate about the axis passing through $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is (in $ \, cm$)
