¿ True or False:
Trigonometry is the study of "Earth Measurements."
True, It also deals with length measurement such as the distance from one point to another
False, Geometry is the study of earth measurements; while Trigo deals with length measurement

¿ True or False:
In 20th Century, Lindenmayer and Turing showed how the mathematics of fractals could create plant growth patterns.
True, fractals are said to be never-ending patterns that are self-similar across different scales.
False, it was Aristid Lindenmayer (Hungarian Biologist) and Benoit Mandelbrot (French-American Mathematician) who developed this concept.
In 20th Century, he predicted mechanisms of morphogenesis which gave rise to patterns of spots and stripes; came to be known as "Turing Pattern."

In 20th Century, he adopted the following patterns for his landscapes: scattered, fractured, mosaic, naturalistic drift, serpentine, spiral, radial, dendritic.

These are patterns which are not consciously arranged (e.g. raindrops)
Fractured
Scattered
Mosaic
Dendritic
The bark of a tree is an example of this kind of pattern.
Fractured
Serpentine
Mosaic
Dendritic
These patterns are said to have ridges on the surface.
Fractured
Naturalistic Drift
Mosaic
Dendritic
These patterns are attributed to natural phenomena and sceneries (e.g. flow of water in the river)
Spiral
Naturalistic Drift
Serpentine
Dendritic
A pattern arranged along wavy (sinusoidal) lines, reminiscent of reptilian movements.
Spiral
Naturalistic Drift
Serpentine
Dendritic
A pattern that is common among the flowers.
Spiral
Naturalistic Drift
Serpentine
Dendritic
A pattern formed by diverging a line from a common center (just like sun's ray).
Spiral
Radial
Serpentine
Dendritic
A pattern resembling a tree branch.
