    Given that we have a perimeter of 20 inches and 2 sides are 8 inches each, the third side is equal to 4 inches. Solving for s which is the semiperimeter,

    S = 20/2 = 10

    Using Heron’s formula,

    A = sqrt of (10) (10-8) (10-8) (10-4) = 15.49 in2

    Thus, the answer for this item is the first choice.
