To determine the longest possible length and width of the rectangle with the appropriate level of precision, we can consider the given dimensions (length of 5.2 inches and width of 3.8 inches) and find a suitable response that has a proper level of precision.

The given dimensions are:

  • Length: 5.2 inches (which has one decimal place)
  • Width: 3.8 inches (which also has one decimal place)

This suggests that any measurements we provide should also maintain a similar level of precision, which is to one decimal place.

Now, examining the choices:

  1. 3.95 and 5.35 - This has two decimal places.
  2. 3.8 and 5.2 inches - This matches the given dimensions.
  3. 3.3 and 4.7 inches - This is also lower than the given dimensions.
  4. 3.85 and 5.25 inches - This has two decimal places.

Among these options, the only response that maintains the same level of precision and matches the dimensions provided is:

3.8 and 5.2 inches

This is the most appropriate response representing the longest length and width while maintaining the correct level of precision.
