u have to go by the area
A = LW

A = (20)(30) = 600 ft^2
A = (25)(25) = 625 ft^2
A = (35)(15) = 525 ft^2
A = (40)(10) = 400 ft^2

I believe it would be the : 25 ft by 25 ft

Answer:

B) 25 ft by 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the largest area, we need to check with each dimensions

Area of a rectangle = length * width

A = (20)(30) = 600 ft^2

A = (25)(25) = 625 ft^2

A = (35)(15) = 525 ft^2

A = (40)(10) = 400 ft^2

The dimension 25 by 25 gives us the maximum area and perimeter of 100 feet.

Therefore, answer is B) 25 ft by 25 ft

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
