Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given that a family pool with a quadrilateral shape ABCD is similar with the dog pool EFGH, we can find the value of x by using the proportion of their corresponding sides.

Since ABCD ~ EFGH, the proportion of their corresponding sides are equal.

Thus, AB/EF = BC/FG = CD/GH = DA/HE

We have: 3/y = 4/3 = 5/z = x/6

Finding z:

4/3 = 5/z

Cross multiply

4*z = 5*3

4z = 15

z = 15/4

z = 3.75

Let's find x:

5/z = x/6

5/3.75 = x/6

Cross multiply

6*5 = x*3.75

30/3.75 = x

8 = x

x = 8
