In the diagram above, there is a 6 dotted lattice. 

--

 

How many squares in the plane have two or more vertices on dots in this grid? All dots are an equal distance from their nearest neighbors. 

 

 

 

--> Thank-you for taking a look at my question.

How many have you counted?

 

Say the horizontal distance between the dots is 1 unit.

 

How many 1x1 squares will there be?

How many 2*2 squares will there be?

How many sqrt2 x sqrt2 squares will there be?

How many sqrt2/2  x  sqrt2/2  squares will there be?

How many  sqrt5  x  sqrt5  squares will there be?

 

Have I missed any?
