The sides of a square are 8 cm long. A new
/.fj ltb53p1-eduuqc 5su2x f square is formed by joining the midpoints of the adjacent sides and two of the resulting triangles are shaded as shown. This proces
. quf-5d1xej53bstcu lp2/ fu s is repeated 5 more times to form the right hand diagram below.
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.
