Sierpiński triangle

The Sierpiński triangle is a fractal pattern formed by repeatedly dividing an equilateral triangle into four smaller congruent triangles and removing the central one, then repeating this process with each remaining smaller triangle infinitely. This creates a complex, self-similar design that exhibits interesting mathematical properties, such as infinitely many smaller triangles within the larger one, while maintaining a consistent overall shape. The pattern showcases how simple iterative rules can generate intricate and infinitely detailed structures, illustrating concepts in geometry, recursion, and mathematical beauty.
