Problem 31Multiple Choice

An engineer is designing a V-shaped water channel to maximize flow capacity. The channel is made from a $12$ -inch wide sheet of metal, with the sides bent upwards at an angle $θ$ . Each side of the channel, when bent, measures $6$ inches. What angle $θ$ maximizes the cross-sectional area of the channel for water flow? Express your answer in degrees.

A

$15 raised to the composed with power$

B

$30 raised to the composed with power$

C

$45 raised to the composed with power$

D

$60 raised to the composed with power$
