By supposing that both triangles are similar, the following ratio must be preserved:
[tex]\frac{z}{2.35}=\frac{1.6}{1.12}[/tex]
Then, by multiplying both sides by 2.35, we have
[tex]z=\frac{1.6*2.35}{1.12}[/tex]
which gives
[tex]z=3.35714[/tex]
Therefore, by rounding off to the nearest hundreadth, the answer is: 3.36
