To find the area of the sketch of a paper hat, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle if the sketch resembles a triangle.

Assuming the dimensions given (a = 6 in and b = 5 in) represent the base (b) and height (a) of a triangle, we can calculate the area using the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \, \text{in} \times 6 \, \text{in} = \frac{1}{2} \times 30 \, \text{in}^2 = 15 \, \text{in}^2
\]

However, since none of the provided options corresponds to 15 in², it may mean that the area calculation should account for another shape or a different configuration of the dimensions.

If you meant another area configuration (like a rectangle or a different concept), please clarify. But as per the triangle interpretation and dimensions given, the area doesn't match any options.

If you have further instructions or additional details about the geometry of the hat, please provide them.
