PROBLEM

My husband and I have just moved into a new home. Since I grew up on a farm and love fresh vegetables, we decided to plant a garden. We went to Lowe's and bought 100 meters of fencing. I would like for my garden to be as large as possible. How big should it be? Hint: Find the dimensions to maximize the area.
