Problem
of the Week |
|
You decide to go for a walk in a garden in the shape of a
right isosceles triangle, ABC; see the figure on the left.
Starting at the vertex A, you walk to D, the midpoint of the
BC; from D to E, the midpoint of AC; from
E to F, the midpoint of AD; from F to
G, the midpoint of DE; and so on...forever!
At what point in the garden do you end up? (That is, if there exists
one, what is the limiting point?)
For further thought: How far did you walk? |
