Answer :

Answer:

J

Step-by-step explanation:

We start out by noting that the perimeter is 28ft.

Therefore, the length + width = 14 ft.

In order to maximize the area, we need the length and width as close as possible, so the length = width = 7 provides us with the largest area.

This is sort of simple algebra, you should probably review algebra 1.
