Editing Koch snowflake (section)

==Tessellation of the plane==
[[File:Koch similarity tiling.svg|thumb|[[Tessellation]] by two sizes of Koch snowflake]]
It is possible to [[tessellation|tessellate]] the plane by copies of Koch snowflakes in two different sizes. However, such a tessellation is not possible using only snowflakes of one size. Since each Koch snowflake in the tessellation can be subdivided into seven smaller snowflakes of two different sizes, it is also possible to find tessellations that use more than two sizes at once.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Fractal tilings|journal=Mathematical Gazette|first=Aidan|last=Burns|volume=78|issue=482|year=1994|pages=193–6|doi=10.2307/3618577|jstor=3618577|s2cid=126185324 }}.</ref> Koch snowflakes and Koch antisnowflakes of the same size may be used to tile the plane.
