Good.  Because you shouldn't.  delta is a subset of R^2, and I_n is a subset of R.  The statement "d = \cap I_n" doesn't make sense.

Think about dividing the square [0,1] x [0,1] into n^2 little blocks.  Then you want to only include those little blocks which contain some piece of delta.  Which are those going to be?  Now do this as n goes to infinity by taking an intersection.
