  • Paper

Let ABCDABCD be a unit square. Let Q1Q_1 be the midpoint of CD‾\overline{CD}. For i=1,2,…,i=1,2,\dots, let PiP_i be the intersection of AQi‾\overline{AQ_i} and BD‾\overline{BD}, and let Qi+1Q_{i+1} be the foot of the perpendicular from PiP_i to CD‾\overline{CD}. What is ∑i=1∞Area of △DQiPi?\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \text{Area of } \triangle DQ_i P_i ?
