(B) The rectangular hyperbola is given by $x^2-y^2=a^2$. Let the coordinates of $B$ be $(a \sec 	heta, a 	an 	heta)$ and $C$ be $(a \sec 	heta, -a 	an 	heta)$. Since $	riangle ABC$ is equilateral,$AB^2 = BC^2$. The distance $BC = 2a 	an 	heta$. The distance $AB^2 = (a \sec 	heta - (-a))^2 + (a 	an 	heta - 0)^2 = a^2(\sec 	heta + 1)^2 + a^2 	an^2 	heta$. Equating $AB^2 = BC^2$: $a^2(\sec 	heta + 1)^2 + a^2 	an^2 	heta = (2a 	an 	heta)^2 = 4a^2 	an^2 	heta$. $(\sec 	heta + 1)^2 = 3 	an^2 	heta = 3(\sec^2 	heta - 1) = 3(\sec 	heta + 1)(\sec 	heta - 1)$. Since $\sec 	heta + 1 
eq 0$,we have $\sec 	heta + 1 = 3(\sec 	heta - 1)$. $\sec 	heta + 1 = 3 \sec 	heta - 3 \implies 2 \sec 	heta = 4 \implies \sec 	heta = 2$. Thus,$	an^2 	heta = \sec^2 	heta - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3$,so $	an 	heta = \sqrt{3}$. The side length $BC = 2a 	an 	heta = 2a \sqrt{3}$. Given the side length is $ka$,we have $ka = 2a \sqrt{3}$,so $k = 2 \sqrt{3} \approx 2 	imes 1.732 = 3.464$. Since $2 < 3.464 \leq 4$,$k$ lies in the interval $(2, 4]$.
