You are a dual income, no kids family. you and your spouse have the following debts (total): mortgage, $350,000; auto loan, $18,600; credit card balance, $5,200; and other debts of $9,800. further, you estimate that your funeral will cost $10,400. your spouse expects to continue to work after your death. using the dink method, what is your life insurance need?
$394,000
$10,400
$202,200
$404,400
$191,800

$202,200

Explanation:

DINK (double-income no kids): It suggest to add half all the marriage debt to the funeral expenses:

To the funeral expenses you will add half of the debts:

350,000 / 2 =  175,000 for mortgage

  18,600 / 2 =     9, 300 for atomobile loan

   5,200 / 2 =     2,600 for credit card debt

   9,800 / 2 =     4, 900 other debt

funeral exp     10, 400  

insurance:      202,200

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
