The sides of a square are 16 inches in length. A new square is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the original square, and two of the resulting triangles are shaded (see figure).. If this process is repeated three more times after the 4th, determine the total area of the shaded region. * 1 sq. in. O127 sq. in. O 64 sq. in. O256 sq. in.
