Exploring the Coastline Paradox
By Benjamin Mencer
Definition
The coast is a fractal shape where the total length of the coast increases as the step size decreases.
(Wolfram.com, 2021)
Aim
Develop an algorithm to model how changing the step size will change the total length of the coast of the UK.
Perimeter: 2699.29 km, when the stepsize is 45 pixels or 103.5km
Perimeter: 3622.49 km, when the stepsize is 15 pixels or 34.5km
Please upload the file uk_IA.jpg to the notebook when prompted to while executing or any other shape which is black and on a white background
