Hi



A rectangle has a perimeter of 24 feet.  

Let x and y represent the width and length respectively

 2*y + 2*x = 24

 2(y+x) = 24

  y + x = 12

Possible combinations of the dimensions and resulting Area

 Rectangle in shape of a square with all sides = 6 has the greatest area.

width	length	Area

1	11	11

2	10	20

3	9	27

4	8	32

5	7	35

6	6	

7	5	35

8	4	32

9	3	27
