This is slightly hit and trial!
2(l+b) = perimeter = 16 right?
So
(l+b) = 8
Now
l = 1, b = 7, Area = 7
l = 2, b = 6, Area = 12
l = 3, b = 5, Area = 15
l = 4, b = 4, Area = 16
And then that whole series reversed!
So Maximum area with 16m fence is 16 m^2 [4m x 4m]
Understood? :)

Ahh. Yeaah :) wait last question, 16m^2 is the last answer or [4x4]?
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
The question says what is the LARGEST REACTANGULAR AREA!
4x4 are just the dimensions of the Largest rectangle!
So the LARGET AREA IS 16m2
Understood? :)
