We know that

[perimeter of rectangle]=2*(<span>length+width)
</span>
Let
x-----------> length
y-----------> width
so
P=2*(x+y)-----------> 244=2*(x+y)-----> x+y=122-------> y=122-x

Area=x*y-------> x*(122-x)----> 122x-x²

find the derivative function and equals to zero

122-2x=0-----> 122=2x----------> x=61 m
y=122-x------> y=122-61---------> y=61 m

<span>the maximum area is given by a square
</span>
the answer is
is a square of side 61 m

Angle AEB and angle CED are vertical angles, this means they equal each other, therefore we set their values as an equation and solve:

5x-10=3x+40
Subtract 3x to both sides
2x-10=40
Add 10 to both sides
2x=50
Divide both sides by 2
x=25

After we have gotten the value of x we can plug it in into the equation of angle AEB:

5x-10
Substitute x by 25
5(25)-10
Distribute
125-10
Substract
115

The measurement of angle AEB is 115

Hope it helped!, have a great day.
