Sierpinski's Triangle

Sierpinski's Triangle is built from a given solid triangle by removing the triangle form by the midpoints of its sides. Then applying the same process to each of the remaining smaller triangles ad infinitum.

The procedures for this example were written by Prof. Judy Coomes at William Paterson University.
