In this short, we use a geometric representation and the Archimedean principle to show why 0.99999... equals 1. This fact tends to be a bit controversial in the mathematics classroom, but the only way to make sense of an infinite sum is to treat it as a limit. Thus, we can use the term equality when discussing infinite sums like 0.999... and there is no number this sum could equal besides 1.
