x=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To make DEF similar to XYZ, the sides have to be in the same ratio. EF corresponds to YZ. EF=3, and YZ=4.5. The ratio 3:4.5 can be simplified to 2:3. Side DF corresponds to XZ.  DF=7 and XZ=3x. So, the ratio is 7:3x.

To  find x, we first find out what 3x is.  In this case 3x is 3(7/2)=10.5. So, x=10.5/3=3.5.

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
