How many squares in the plane have two or more vertices on dots in this 2x3 grid? All dots are an equal distance from their nearest neighbours. *diagonal squares count*

How many dots are there?

a 2x3 grid (6 dots) has 15 pairs

each of the pairs can be an edge or a diagonal

some squares involve 4 dots
... some, only two

There are 6 dots, because it is a 2x3 square.

There are more than 15, I know that for sure.

22, becuase i know cuz i cheatded

Do you go to the SMS

(spirit of math)

YES AHMED I DO

It's 31, I saw the answer, but still stuck on how to get it. I go to Spirit of Math.

I know the answer is 31, but don’t know how to get it.

Oh thank you guys so much

Really needed it

Are you guys in grade 7 or 8

Hey peeps I also go to SMS the answer is less than 30 (I think) but definitely more than 24. (I asked Ms. D)

I could be wrong but I KNOW IT IS MORE THAN 24

U guys are working on Seventh Challenge right? I'm stuck on problem 8), 9), and 10)! the answer to 8) is 144 but I can't get it...

so whats the answer?? working on seventh challenge too

don't search up the answer kids, use ur brain!!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop cheating kids

We don't want to use our brains! we can't figure it out, neither can our parents, so we search the answers up! Plain and simple!

How do you find out the number of squaresssss

I need help.

Does anyone go to spirit of math and does not like it ?

Omg lol so many som people

hahahaha here I am a year later stuck on this question... you don't get marks without work :(

Its 31

Ok thanks

thanks

yea but how

Its 27 Because it is what it is

Hey are you guys cheating?

I Can see that you guys are trying to search up the answers I will inform this right now!

yea Mr. Lanyon but how would you know who is who

I also go to SOM and I searched for this answer, who is Mr. Lanyon? No idea who he is. I am just a lurker trying to do Challenge 7.

hmm general consensus is that the answer is 31 but how did u guys get it? need to show work lol

coming from som in the future im pretty late to this conversation but I got 33 because 22 which is all the 2 vertices touching squares, 8 for all the 3 verticie touching squares, and 2 for the 4 vertices touching squares. Idk if i got that wrong tho. well who knows.

banana

suck me off mr lanyon

mr lanyon beats me

mr lanyon does my first name

Isn't it technically infinite seeing as you can just expand the dimensions of the square infinitely?

damn now i cant get this question but I think its 31

this is due tmmr someone pls help

I can't get past 20- pls help
