STEP 0 STEP 1

1. Stage 0 is an equilateral triangle with sides 1 unit. (S=1)

2. Stages 1, 2, and 3 are copies of stage 0 triangle.
3. Get the midpoints of the sides of stage 1 triangle and connect the mid
4. In stage 2, copy the new stage 1 triangle. Get midpoints of the sides o
triangles.
5. In stage 3, copy new stage 2 triangle. Get midpoints of the sides of the
triangles.
6. Fill in the table below.
