15 - Sum of Circumference af all the Circles

Problem
A circle of radius 1 inch is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. A smaller circle is inscribed at each vertex, tangent to the circle and two sides of the triangle. The process is continued with progressively smaller circles. What is the sum of the circumference of all the circles.

Derivation of Product of First n Terms of Geometric Progression

The product of the first $n$ terms of a Geometric Progression is given by the following:
 

Given the first term $a_1$ and last term $a_n$:

$P_n = \sqrt{(a_1 \times a_n)^n}$

 

Given the first term $a_1$ and the common ratio $r$

$P_n = {a_1}^n \times r^{n(n - 1)/2}$
