    Step-by-step explanation:

    With only straight lines, the largest rectangle you could make with 40 feet of fencing would be a 10*10 square, which has an area of 100 ft².

    If you used flexible fencing, you could make a circle with perimeter of 40 ft. The diameter would be 40/π ft, and the radius would be 20/π ft. So the area would be:

    A = π (20/π ft) ²

    A = 400/π ft²

    A ≈ 127 ft²

    So yes, you could get a larger area using flexible fencing.
