Question 1190603: The large equilateral triangle has sides of units. The midpoints of the large triangle are
joined to form the second triangle. The midpoints of the second triangle are joined to form the
third triangle. The process of joining midpoints to form new triangles continues indefinitely

Look at what you are posting before you post it....

"The large equilateral triangle has sides of units." p units?

"State the height of all 3 in terms of p". (1) all 3 what? triangles? the problem says there are an infinite number of triangles. (2) The "height of all 3" is the height of the largest one.

"Determine the areas of all 3 in terms of p". Again, there are an infinite number of triangles....
