If you can't see the picture the answer is: (y+4)(y+2).
Hope this helps, and May the Force Be With You!

You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Answer:
The cost of bicycle is Rs1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of bicycle
Total profit gained by the shopkeeper by selling at labelled price = 20%
Suppose he sell the bicycles at at 5% discount
Which means that the total profit he learn after discount will be:
20% -5% = 15%
The shopkeeper earns a profit of 15% if he sells at discount.
Profit gained by shopkeeper is:
15% of x = 15/100 · x
15% of x = 0.15x
Thus the profit gained will be 0.15x. As profit gained is equal to 150, we can say that
0.15x = 150
x = 1000
The cost of bicycle is Rs1000
Basically you need to multiply the percent by the number.
