Problem 1

  • Day 1

Let nn be an integer greater than 33 . A square of side length nn is divided by lines parallel to each side into n2n^2 squares of length 11 . Find the number of convex trapezoids which have vertices among the vertices of the n2n^2 squares of side length 11 , have side lengths less than or equal 33 and have area equal to 22 Note: Parallelograms are trapezoids.
