We study the geometry of representations of numbers by continued fractions whose elements belong to the set A 2. It is shown that, for α α 1 2 1 2 ≤ / , every point of a certain segment admits an A 2 -continued fraction representation.Moreover, for α α 1 2 1 2 = / , this representation is unique with the exception of a countable set of points. For the last case, we find the basic metric relation and describe the metric properties of a set of numbers whose A 2 -continued fraction representation does not contain a given combination of two elements. The properties of a random variable for which the elements of its A 2 -continued fraction representation form a homogeneous Markov chain are also investigated.
