This is arrived at in the following manner..... by the factor of 4 which is %281%2F2%29%5E2. For a cube%2C acting similarly%2C decreasing its size by a factor of 2%28HERE IT MUST BE 8 INSTEAD OF 2%2C RIGHT%29%2C results in smaller cubes each with the volume 1%2F8%3D%281%2F2%29%5E3 of the %22parent%22 cube. We can detect a commonality in these three examples......%0D%0A%0D%0AIf I am wrong%2C please tell me why%3F%2C thanks a lot 1|1|0|||||RE%3A Error in Fractal Curves and Dimensions|alexb||08:51:06|11/16/2008|%3EFor a cube%2C acting similarly%2C %0D%0A%3Edecreasing its size by a factor of 2%28HERE IT MUST BE 8 %0D%0A%3EINSTEAD OF 2%2C RIGHT%29%2C %0D%0A%0D%0AI think that the ambiguity can be resolved by replacing the word %22size%22 with the word %22side%22. For it%27s the side whose soze changes by a factor of 2.%0D%0A%0D%0AMany thanks for pointing out the typo.
