mandorlas and sierpenski triangles
I browsed a site on geometry which called the figure formed by two overlapping circles, as in each pair above, the mandorla, rather than the vesica piscis, which I had been seeing, and demonstrated how this shape is central to creating a number of geometric figures, including, many equilateral triangles.
I created this image by imitating this, and continuing to subdivide the equilateral triangles. I then drew out some additional overlapping circles to fit the diminished triangles.
It was only later that I realized that this is not an actual Sierpenski triangle, which has gaps at every level of size, and which has its subdivisions iterated always at the extremities, not at the center.
Idle geometric-ing with Geogebra and random websites as my guide.
Like it? Would send me some bitcoin as a tip?
