The fence you have must fit the perimeter of the rectangle.

With 36 feet of fence, these are the rectangles that you can enclose:

2 x 16 . . . Area =  32 ft²
3 x 15 . . . Area =  45 ft²
4 x 14 . . . Area =  56 ft²
5 x 13 . . . Area =  65 ft²
6 x 12 . . . Area =  72 ft²
7 x 11 . . . Area =  77 ft²
8 x 10 . . . Area =  80 ft²
9 x 9 . . . Area =  81 ft²
