    Answer:

    • largest: 1024 m²
    • smallest: 0 m²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The largest rectangular area with a given perimeter is a square. Each side of the square will be 1/4 of the fence, or 32 m.

    The largest enclosed area is (32 m)² = 1024 m².

    __

    The smallest area will be that of an enclosure consisting of a double-row of fence: 64 m long and 0 m wide.

    The smallest enclosed area is (64 m)(0 m) = 0 m².

    _____

    “Whole numbers” include zero. If you want the lengths to be Natural numbers, then the smallest area will be 63 m long and 1 m wide, or 63 m².
