Well, if the product has two decimal places and it is known that one factor has none, then the other factor must have two decimal places. Where would those two decimal places in the product come from otherwise?
Some examples:
1 * 34.44 = 34.44
2 * 17.22 = 34.44
In both cases, the non-integer factor had two decimal places.
Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions! :D
1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
