Answer 1

To determine the longest possible length and width of a rectangle based on the given measurements of 5.2 inches for length and 3.8 inches for width, we need to identify a response that maintains the appropriate level of precision.

1. The length 5.2 inches is expressed to one decimal place, suggesting the measurement can increase to 5.25 inches without exceeding the next precision interval.
2. The width of 3.8 inches is also to one decimal place, so the longest possible representation would be 3.85 inches.

The response that accurately represents the longest possible length and width with the appropriate level of precision is:

3.85 and 5.25 inches.
