<h2>Answer:</h2>

9 inches

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let x be the length of the side of the square.

If the base of the triangle is 3 times as long as the side of the square, it is 3 times x, or 3x.

The same can be said for the legs, which is 1 inch more than twice the side of the square, so 2x + 1.

The triangle can therefore be thought to look like the triangle below.

The perimeter is therefore (2x+1) + (2x+1) + 3x, which is 7x + 2.

The sum of perimeters of both the square and triangle is 46.

The perimeter of the square is 4x, so the sum of perimeters is 4x + (7x+2), or  11x + 2.

11x + 2 = 46, so 11x = 44.

x is therefore 4

The leg is 2x + 1, so the leg is 8 + 1, so the length of the leg is 9 inches.

If you set aside $9000 at the end of each year for the next 22 years in a Roth IRA, how much will you have at your retirement 22
madam [21]

Answer:

$501,049.37

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the amount after 22 years we need to applied the future value which is shown in the attachment below:

Given that

PMT = $9,000

NPER = 22 years  

Annual rate = 0.078

Quarterly= 0.078 ÷ 4 = 0.0195

Effective annual rate = (1.0195^4) - 1 = 0.0803113041

Now applied the formula which is given below

= -FV(RATE;NPER;PMT;PV)

After applying the above formula, the future value is $501,049.37

\text{Hey there!}

\bf{\frac{2}{3}=0.6\overline{6}7}\\\\ \bf{\frac{3}{5}=0.60}

\text{Reason: if you use a fraction pie chart and compare}\frac{2}{3} \text{to}\frac{3}{5}, \text{you'd see that}\frac{2}{3} \text{has more shaded areas than as for}\frac{3}{5}\text{has the least amount}
