Summary

Description Three iterations of a simple pentagonal fractal, where a pentagon has smaller pentagons placed along each of its sides, recursively. For a variation of this (where the smaller pentagons are within the larger pentagon, not outside), see the top row of File:Pentagonal-fractals-3.svg .
