Fractals are intricate geometric shapes that exhibit self-similarity, meaning they appear similar at different scales. They are often generated by repeating a simple process infinitely. This worksheet will explore some basic concepts and examples of fractals.
1. Which property best describes a fractal?
Smooth curves
Self-similarity
Limited detail
Straight lines only
2. Which of the following is a real-world example of a fractal?
A perfect sphere
A snowflake
A straight road
A smooth cube
3. Consider the following image of a Koch snowflake (Stage 1). Draw the next iteration (Stage 2) in the space provided, showing how the self-similarity is maintained.
4. A fractal is a geometric shape that appears at different scales.
5. The process of repeatedly applying a rule to generate a fractal is called .
6. All fractals have a finite perimeter and a finite area.
True
False
7. The Mandelbrot set is an example of a fractal.
True
False
8. Briefly explain what is meant by 'fractal dimension' and how it differs from Euclidean dimension.
