a. An isosceles trapezoidal drainage gutter is to be made so that the angles at A
and B in the cross-section ABCD are each 120°. If the 5 m long sheet of metal
that has to be bent to form the open-topped gutter and the width of the sheet
of metal is 60 cm, then determine the dimensions so that the cross-sectional
area will be a maximum.
D
215m→
A B
b. Calculate the maximum volume of water that can be held by this gutter.
