2. A farmer is planning to create a temporary 'pen' for livestock, by cutting a large section of plastic netting into strips, joining the strips together and then fixing the combined length to posts. He decides the fence must be 2 m high, and must form a shape that is nearly square: either a precise square or a rectangle whose length and width do not differ by more than 5 m.
If the length and width are both whole numbers of metres, what is the greatest area than can be created from 156 m2 of netting?
