Answer: 2.4

Explanation:

Because they are similar, the lengths of the sides will have the same ratio.

We will use side AB and side XY since it shows both sides.

This shows that the ratio is 3:4

We can then use that to find out that XZ also uses the ratio 3:4

3.2 / 4 = 0.8

0.8 * 3 = 2.4

XY is equal to 2.4
