Answer:

A=17.99\ in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A triangle with side lengths 6 inches, 6 inches, and 8.5 inches.

We need to find the area of the cloth.

The side lengths form an isosceles triangle. The formula for the area of the isosceles triangle is given by :

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h

Where

h=\sqrt{a^2-\dfrac{b^2}{4}}

So,

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times \sqrt{a^2-\dfrac{b^2}{4}}

Put a = 6 and b = 8.5

So,

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8.5\times \sqrt{6^2-\dfrac{8.5^2}{4}}\\\\A=17.99\ in^2

So, the area of the cloth is equal to 17.99\ in^2.
