Answer:

  θ = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross sectional area of the trapezoid shape will be that of a trapezoid with bases of 10 cm and (10 cm + 2·(10 cm)·cos(θ)) and height (10 cm)·sin(θ).

That area in cm² is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(10 + (10 +20cos(θ))(10sin(θ)

  A = 100sin(θ)(1 +cos(θ))

A graphing calculator shows this area to be maximized when ...

  θ = π/3 radians = 60°

_____

<em>A</em> will be maximized when its derivative with respect to θ is zero. That derivative can be found to be 2cos(θ)² +cos(θ) -1, so the solution reduces to ...

  cos(θ) = 1/2

  θ = arccos(1/2) = π/3
