Let S1, S2, ... be squares such that for each n ≥ 1, the length of a side of Sn equals the length of a diagonal of Sn+1. If the length of a side of S1 is 10 cm, then for which of the following values of n is the area of Sn less than 1 square cm?
Let a be the side of the square, then diagonal
Given,
Now, area of
∴ n = 8, 9, 10.
