Fractals in high school: A proposal to assist in teaching geometry

For a long time, Euclidean geometry was responsible for describing, analyzing and explaining everything that surrounds us. However, due to the complexity of the world, which is not limited to points, lines, planes and some regular shapes, over time this geometry came to be considered insufficient. Other geometries emerged over the centuries and were classified as non-Euclidean, including the geometry of fractals. There are countless contributions of this geometry to different areas of knowledge. In Biology, for example, we can better understand the growth of plants, the study of irregular surfaces in physics, the detailing of the internal anatomy of the human body and the analysis of some types of cancer for Medicine are among these contributions.
