Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 4.5

Answer:

Yes; 28 meters²; 6 meters by 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a 7 by 4 meter rectangle is 22 meters, so the 22 meters of fence would enclose the garden.

area= length x width

area = 7 meters x 4 meters

area= 28 meters²

10 meters x 1 meter = 10 meters²

9 meters x 2 meters = 18 meters²

8 meters x 3 meters = 24 meters²

7 meters x 4 meters = 28 meters²

6 meters x 5 meters = 30 meters²

So 6 meters x 5 meters would give us the most amount of area.

Hope this helps.
