The shape with the maximum area for a given perimeter is a circle.
A circle with perimeter (circumference) 30m has a radius = 30/(2*pi) = 15/pi m.
Then, its area is pi*(15/pi)2 = 225/pi = 71.62 sq metres.
If the question requires the shape to be polygonal, then the greater the number of sides (and so the closer the shape is to a circle) the greater the area enclosed.
Finally, if you are limited to squares and rectangles, the maximum area is for a square.
A square with perimeter 30 m has sides of length 30/4 = 7.5 metres. A square with sides of 7.5 m has an area of 56.25 sq metres (considerably smaller than the circle).
