Assume that the seed triangle of the Sierpinski ternary gasket has area $A=81$. Let R denote the number of triangles removed at a particular step, S the area of each removed triangle, T the total area removed, and Q the area of the “gasket” obtained at a particular step of the construction. Complete the missing entries in Table 12-18.
