Question

Can someone help me?

Sierpinski's triangle is a famous geometric pattern. To draw Sierpinski's triangle, start with a triangle and connect the midpoints of the sides to draw a smaller triangle. If you repeat this pattern over and over, you will form a figure like the one shown. This particular figure started with an isoscles triangle. Are the triangles outlined in red congruent? Explain.

Answer 1

The two bottom triangles are the triangles they are talking about

Answer 2

Well we started with a large triangle and then we started connecting the midpoint to create a smaller triangle and continue to do that over and over...so we always connect the midpoint to form a triangle which would mean that in fact it would be congruent....

do you get what I am saying?

Answer 3

Kind of
