I assume that we begin with the 8 inch square and therefore count it in the total of 6 squares
******************************************************************************
The process divides the squares side in half, therefore
sides 8 4 2 1 0.5 0.25
areas 64 16 4 1 0.25 0.0625
sum of areas is 85.3125 square inches
