Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all work where applicable.
1. What is a fractal? Describe its key characteristics and provide an example of a natural fractal.
2. Which of the following best describes the property of self-similarity in fractals?
The fractal looks identical at all scales of magnification.
The fractal's perimeter is infinite, but its area is finite.
Small parts of the fractal resemble the overall structure.
The fractal can be generated by a simple iterative process.
3. The Koch snowflake is an example of a fractal that exhibits an infinite but a finite .
4. Explain the concept of fractal dimension. How does it differ from Euclidean dimension, and why is it useful for describing fractals?
