Infinite Geometric Series Using Area of Triangles

Given is an equilateral triangle with Area=1. The vertices of the blue triangle are the midpoints of the sides.
  • Drag the slider n to construct equilateral triangles inscribed in the white triangle directly above each blue triangle.
  • Click the "+" button to ZoomIn at the vertex of the triangle.
  • Click the "-" to return to the original triangle.
What will be the sum of the area of the blue triangles if we continue to inscribe them to infinity?
