A fractal derived from the Koch
snowflake. The base curve and motif for the fractal are illustrated below.
The area enclosed by pieces of the curve after the th iteration is
where
is the area of the original equilateral triangle,
so from the derivation for the Koch snowflake,
the total area enclosed is
