Oh I completely get that 0 = 0 folds, but if we are comparing square meters then A1 is 1 square meter. It depends on your point of view on what you are compari

- ajuc 4y agoA0 area = 0.5^0 = 1 m^2 A1 area = 0.5^1 = 0.5 m^2 A2 area = 0.5^2 = 0.25 m^2 A3 area = 0.5^3 = 0.125 m^2 If it was your way A1 area = 1 m^2 A2 area = 0.5 = 0.5 ^ (2-1) m^2 A3 area = 0.25 = 0.5 ^ (3-1) m^2 Why shift it one way just to shift it the other way in the formula?
- Infernal 4y agoIf you want to fit the area into the name you can think of it as A0 = 1/(2^0) m^2 A1 = 1/(2^1) m^2 A2 = 1/(2^2) m^2 And so on (EDIT for formatting and also to observe a sibling post to mine is making the same point)
