First we have a square with side .
Then we join the midpoints of square to get another square.And this process continues forever.Means we join midpoints of squares and get new squares.
Sum of areas of all these square is equal to .Then
Details and assumptions:-
and is in degrees.

One can observe side of nth square can be given by formula ( 2 ) n − 1 sin ξ which is very is easy to get.
Therefore area of nth square is given by ( ( 2 ) n − 1 sin ξ ) 2 .
Observe that sequence of areas of squares forms a GP with first term = a = sin 2 ξ .
common ratio = r = 2 1 .
As ∣ r ∣ < 1 we can apply infinite GP sum formula.
Therefore sum of areas of all square = 1 − r a = 1 − 2 1 sin 2 ξ = 2 sin 2 ξ
It is given that 2 sin 2 ξ = 2 3
⇒ sin ξ = 2 3 ⇒ ξ = 6 0 ° .
