What is Sierpinski triangle?
A '''Sierpinski triangle''' or '''Sierpinski triangle gasket''' is a [[fractal]] resulting from doing the following:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/fractals/ |title=Cynthia Lanius' Fractals Unit: The Sierpinski Triangle |publisher=Math.rice.edu |accessdate=2011-10-28 |archive-date=2011-10-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111030015044/http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/fractals/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> * Start with an [[equilateral triangle]]. * Remove center part. * Do the same for the three largest equilateral triangles left in this one. If this is done, the first few steps will look like this: [[File:Sierpinski triangle evolution.svg|thumb|right]] If this is done an [[infinite]] number of times, its area will be 0.
