Sierpinski Carpet: The use of Exponential Notation to find the area of an nth figure.

Introduction:

Our world is made up of patterns and sequences. The reason why mathematics
begins is we need to

Sierpinski Carpet has some wonderful properties. As one example you might wonder
whether forever poking holes in the carpet will, in the limit, leaving nothing left. This
doesn’t happen, though -like with the cantor set, lot and lots of points remain.

So, what’s the area of each left?

Notice that in each step, each square chunk of the area is reduced by 8/9. And, if
each piece of area shrinks by 8/9 at each stage, then the whole area also shrinks 8/9
at each stage.

The area after stage 1 is (8/9) ^1

The area after stage 2 is (8/9) ^2

The area after stage 3 is (8/9) ^3

And so on, after how many iterations
