Answer:

An equilateral triangle with a length of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2-by-2 square implies that the square has a length and width of 2. Since equilateral triangles have the same length for all sides, it tells you that if one side is a certain length, all the other sides must have the same length. The largest length we can fit into this square would be 2 because any larger, the sides of the triangles would not fit into the square. Under the assumption that the length needs to be a whole number, the answer would be 2.

b = 73

choice b
