Given : equilateral triangle A₀, B₀, C₀ is given
for every n, natural numbers Aₙ , Bₙ , Cₙ are mid points of Bₙ₊₁ Cₙ₋₁ , Cₙ₋₁ Aₙ₋₁ and Aₙ₋₁ Bₙ₋₁
Part of triangle A₀B₀C₀ that is outside of triangle A₁B₁C₁ shade in red color
on the same way A₂B₂C₂ outside of triangle A₃B₃C₃ and so on.
To Find : percentage of triangle A₀B₀C₀ that is shaded.
Solution:
Area of ΔA₀B₀C₀ = A
Then Area of ΔA₁B₁C₁ = A/4 as sides are half
Hence Part of triangle A₀B₀C₀ that is outside of triangle A₁B₁C₁ shade in red color = A - A/4 = 3A/4
Area of ΔA₂B₂C₂ = (A/4)/4 = A/16
Then Area of Δ A₃B₃C₃ = (A/16)/4 = A/64
Hence Part of triangle ΔA₂B₂C₂ that is outside of triangle Δ A₃B₃C₃ shade in red color = A/16 - A/64 = 3A/64
3A/4 then 3A/64 and so on
This is an AP
with a = 3A/4
r = 1/16
Sₙ = a/(1 - r) for infinite series r < 1
Hence Sum = (3A/4)/( 1 - 1/16)
= 12A/15
= 4A/5
= 80 %
80 % of triangle A₀B₀C₀ is shaded.
