After many iterations, the tiny squares will be so tiny it looks more like a straight line. After infinite many iterations, it'll become a straight line. |dw:1568121682603:dw| But since it's made out of tiny lines going right and down, the length of B = top line + right line so B = A + A
In other words: Iteration 1: A Iteration 2: A/2 + A/2 Iteration 3: A/4 + A/4 + A/4 + A/4 Iteration 4: A/8 + A/8 + A/8 + A/8 + A/8 + A/8 + A/8 + A/8 ... Iteration n: (A/n) * n = A Iteration infinity: idk
