2.0Detailed NCERT Solutions on Geometric Terms Exercise 4.1 Class 8 Maths (Ganita Prakash Term 2)

Draw the initial few steps (at least till Step of the shape sequence that leads to the Sierpinski Triangle.

Sol. Step-0: Take cut out of an equilateral triangle $Δ$ .

Step-1: Divide it into 4 equilateral triangles by joining the midpoints of each of the sides. Remove the central triangle.

Step-2: Divide each of the remaining 3 equilateral triangles into four equilateral triangles and remove the central triangle in each of them.

Step-3: Repeat the steps again and again to get Sierpinski's gasket.

2. Find the number of holes, and the triangles that remain at each step of the shape sequence that leads to the Sierpinski Triangle.

Sol. Number of holes in Step-0: 0 hole Step-1: 1 hole Step-2: 1+3=4 holes Step-3: 1+3+9=13 holes Step-4: 1+3+9+27=40 holes.

Step n: $3^{1 - 1} + 3^{2 - 1} + 3^{3 - 1} + \dots\dots + 3^{n - 1}$ holes

$= 3^{0} + 3^{1} + 3^{2} + \dots\dots + 3^{n - 1} holes$

Find the area of the region remaining at the nth step in each of the shape sequences that lead to the Sierpinski fractals. Take the area of the starting square/triangle to be 1 sq. unit.

Sol. (a) Let the side of the square of $s$ Sierpinski's Carpet be 1 square unit. As one-ninth of the square is removed, and one-eighth remains in each step.

Step-0: Area of whole square

$= (1)^{2} = 1$

Step-1: Area of remaining region

$= \frac{8}{9} (1)^{2} = \frac{8}{9}$

Step-2: Area of remaining region

$= \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{8}{9} = \frac{64}{81}$

Step-3: Area of remaining region

$= \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{64}{81} = \frac{8 ^{3}}{9 ^{3}} = \frac{512}{729}$

Area of remaining region after nth step

$= (\frac{8}{9})^{n} sq. units$

(b) let the area of the triangle of sierpinkski's Gasket be 1 aquare unit.

One fourth of the triangle is removed in each step, and three fourth remains.

Step-0: Area of the whole triangle $= 1$ sq. unit

Step-1: Area of remaining region $= \frac{3}{4}$ sq. unit

Step-2: Area of remaining region $= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4}$ sq. unit $= \frac{9}{16}$ square unit Area of remaining region after nth step $= (\frac{3}{4})^{n}$ sq. units
