The sides of a square are 16 inches in length. A new square is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the original square, and two of the triangles outside the second square are shaded. Determine the area of the shaded regions (a) when this process is continued five more times, and (b) when this pattern of shading is continued infinitely.

The great thing about this problem is they give you everything you need to solve it easily. so the expression is: 12h+30w12h+30wand so everywhere you have an “h” you place 66. and everywhere you have a “w” you place 33. then the expression will look like this: 12(66)+30(33)12(66)+30(33)from here you multiply and then add. getting the following of: $785,862hope this
