Answer:

The sheet should be turned up 7.5cm on each side to obtain maximum volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a rectangular eavesdrop, by bending the sheet along dotted line, then.

Height of eaves trough = x cm

Length of eaves trough = 600 cm

Width of eaves trough =  (30 - 2x) cm

We know that Volume is given by:

V = Length · Width · Height

V = (x)(30 - 2x)(600)

V = -1200x² + 18000x

To maximize the volume, we take the derivative and put it equal to zero.

\frac{dV}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}( -1200x^2 +18000x)=0\\\frac{d}{dx}( -1200x^2 +18000x) = 0\\-(2)1200x+18000=0\\-2400x+18000=0\\x=\frac{18000}{2400}\\ x=7.5cm

5-2=3 so x is equal to 3
-3+10 is equal to 7 so y is equal to 10
With this we can conclude that x=3 and y=10
