  • Answer

Patio blocks that are hexagons 11 unit on a side are used to outline a garden by placing the blocks edge to edge with nn on each side. The diagram indicates the path of blocks around the garden when n=5n=5.

If n=202n=202, then the area of the garden enclosed by the path, not including the path itself, is m(3/2)m\left(\sqrt3/2\right) square units, where mm is a positive integer. Find the remainder when mm is divided by 10001000.
