A square is drawn by joining the mid-points of the sides of a square. A third square is drawn inside the second square in the same way and the processes continued indefinitely. If the side of the square is `10 c m` , find the sum of the areas of all the squares so formed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Side of the square is `10cm` So, area of square `=100cm^2` Now ,
Area of second Square is =`1/2​×`area of first square `=50cm^2`
Area of third square `=25cm^2`
Thus, `100,50,25...` a G.P
With first term (a)=`100`
