$Finite Area, Infinite Edge: The Koch Snowflake The Koch snowflake fits inside a tiny circle, so its area is finite - but its edge is infinitely long. Every construction step swaps each segment for 4 pieces that are 1/3 as long, multiplying the perimeter by 4/3 forever, so the perimeter blows up. The area does not: each step glues on 4 times as many bumps at 1/9 the area, and because 4/9 is less than 1, that makes a geometric series that settles at exactly 8/5 of the starting triangle. Same process, two ratios - one above 1, one below it. The edge is so crinkly it sits between a line and a plane, with dimension log(4)/log(3), about 1.26. That is what makes it a fractal.
