2. (iii) Depending on where in the pixels its corners lie, an equilateral triangle with base
length 4 pixels may or may not have enclose empty pixels. |
But certainly, an equilateral triangle with base length 2 pixels encloses no empty pixels. |
Supposing P1 lies in the largest removed triangle, in part (ii) we have seen
that P2 lies in one of the three triangles of base length 512/2 = 256. |
Continuing, we find |
P3 lies in a triangle of base length 128 |
P4 lies in a triangle of base length 64 |
P5 lies in a triangle of base length 32 |
P6 lies in a triangle of base length 16 |
P7 lies in a triangle of base length 8 |
P8 lies in a triangle of base length 4 |
|
Consequently, P9, P10, ... lie in triangles consisting only of pixels occupied
by points of the gasket. |
That is, on the computer monitor P9, P10, ... are indistinguishable from points of the gasket. |
