Koch snowflake snowflake. After each iteration, the number of sides of the Koch snowflake increases by a factor of 4, so the number of sides after iterations is given by: If the original equilateral triangle has sides of length , the length of each side of the snowflake after iterations is: the perimeter of the snowflake after iterations is: The Koch curve has an infinite length because the total length of the curve increases by a factor of four thirds with each iteration. Each iteration creates four times as many line segments as in the previous iteration, with the length of each
