Answer:

2.8 in

Explanation:

The volume of any shape is given as the product of base area and height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is cross sectional area, h is height

For a triangular, the cross sectional area is given by ½lw where l is length and w is width.

Now v=½lwh

Given that v=4 in³

4=½lwh

8=lwh

Considering the given choices, l can be 2.8 in
