The sides of a square are 8 cm long. A new square is formed by joining the mi

1.Find the total area of the shaded region in the right hand diagram above.
the total area of the shaded region S≈
cm$^2$
2.Find the total area of the shaded region if the process is repeated indefinitely.
Using the sum of an infinite geometric sequence formula $S_∞$=
cm$^2$
