Due 1/24/11 (In two weeks):

A report on the Sierpinski Gasket.

Click here for some images of how the Sierpinski Gasket “grows”.

Your report should be done in either Word or Pages and should have the following:

1. The graph showing how the total area of the Sierpinski Gasket changes over 20 iterations. You will need to input data into an Excel spreadsheet in order to create this graph.

Remember the column headings you decided on in class.  They were:

Iteration / Number of triangles remaining / Size of each triangle / Total Area

Remember to use formulas for each column – don’t do each iteration by hand!

2. At least one paragraph describing what the graph shows and why.
