Answer:
x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of trough be x.
Width of trough be 12 - 2x.
and length of trough = 120 inch
Volume of trough, V = L×W×H = 120 × (12-2x) × x = 120x(12 - 2x)
For maximum volume, we find V' = 0
i.e 1440 -480x = 0
or x = 
or x= 3
Hence x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- The<span> room has square dimensions and it has been built with two pieces of sheetrock, a smaller one and a larger one.
2. Therefore, let's call
x: the smaller one.
y: the larger one.
3. Then, you have that the lenght of the wall is the sum of the smaller one and the larger one:
x+y
4. So, the area of the room is:
(x+y)(x+y)
(x+y)</span>²
Therefore, the answer is: (x+y)²
