we know that

[perimeter of rectangle]=2*(length+width)

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

the maximum area is given by a square

the answer is
is a square of side 61 m
