Using a variation of Heron's formula, we can calculate the area of a triangle using only the sides:
A = 1/4 √(a2 = b2 + c2)2 - 2(a4 + b4 + c4)
Note - everything after the 1/4 is under the radical sign.
After you crunch that all out the area of the isosceles triangle you describe is 1,290 square inches (rounded).
Fabric is sold in three standard widths, the largest is 54". Assuming you want your triangle to be a whole piece of cloth and not cut & stitched, you will need to buy a piece of 54" width that is approximately 50' long. This is because the altitude of your triangle to the short side is 50" (rounded). The altitude can be calculated by using the short side as a base and working backward from:
A = bh/2:
1,290 = 52h/2
h = 1,290/26
h = 49.6
So, to get your uncut triangle of approximately 1,290 in2, you need to buy 2,700 in2.
