+1438 How many rectangles are there whose four vertices are points on this 3 by 3 grid?
+128408 I count 9
BTW ....
There is actually a formula for the total number of rectangles [ including squares ] on a N x N grid :
[ Here......"grid" refers to N squares by N squares...so....using this definition, you have a 2 x 2 grid ]
(N)^2 ( N + 1)^2 / 4 = (2)^2 * (3)^2 / 4 = 4 * 9 / 4 = 36 / 4 = 9
EDIT......as hectictar points out....there is also an additional square created by connecting the "mid-point" vertices of each side....so.....the correct answer seems to be 10....!!!!!
