解:
(1)边长为1的正方形总面积为$1×1=1。$
由题意可得各纸片面积:
纸片①的面积为$\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2^1},$
纸片②的面积为$\dfrac{1}{2}×\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2^2},$
纸片③的面积为$\dfrac{1}{4}×\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2^3},$
纸片④的面积为$\dfrac{1}{8}×\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{1}{2^4},$
纸片⑤的面积为$\dfrac{1}{16}×\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{32}=\dfrac{1}{2^5},$
纸片⑥的面积为$\dfrac{1}{32}×\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{1}{2^6},$
结合图形可知,阴影部分的面积等于纸片⑥的面积,即阴影部分面积为$\dfrac{1}{64}。$
(2)由图形可得,$\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8}+\dots+\dfrac{1}{2^6}$的和等于大正方形总面积减去阴影部分的面积:
$\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8}+\dots+\dfrac{1}{2^6}=1-\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{63}{64}。$
