Trisect each side of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 and construct an equilateral triangle on the center third of each side. Omit the side of each new triangle that was once a part of the original triangle. Repeat the trisection, construction, and omission steps on each segment formed above, creating the figure below. When this process is repeated indefinitely, a new figure is approached. The square of the area of this new figure can be written as
where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p + q. ps. the figure is a koch flake. pretty sure the answer is 223, but i some conformation. thank you :)

I think it's just a glitch but the problem is missing some values. 

We need to know that the area of the square can be written as for p and q to solve this problem. 

I think the latex didn't go through. 

 

Can you please just fix the part for the equation? 

I'll try to solve it then!

 

Thanks! ::)
