   Draw a center point rectangle at origin. Smart Dimension one side.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Smart Dimension other side and in value input press =.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Select the 1st dimension and then *0.75. This will be expression y=0.75*x.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw a circle at origin and smart dimension by the first dimension /3. i.e.z=x/3.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Extrude it.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Double click the part. It will show all the dimensions.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Double click the extrusion dimension and it's relation with the height of part also *1.25. i.e. a=1.25*x.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Rebuild part.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    When we change the height of part from 100 to 150.
