ANSWER
The mid-points of its sides are joined to from another triangle whose mid-points are joined to from another triangle. This process continues indefinitely.
Side of 2nd equilateral triangle =12cm ( line segment joining mid-point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and half of it ).
Similarly, side of third equilateral triangle =6cm.... sides are 3,1,5,

.
Perimeter of 1st triangle =24=24+24=72cm
Perimeter of 2nd triangle =12+12+12=36cm
Perimeter of 3rd triangle =6+6+6=18cm.
Sum of perimeter of all triangles =72+36+18+9+
