Rectangles in cross-hatched grids
In a $3\times 2$ cross-hatched grid, a total of $37$ different rectangles could be situated within that grid as indicated in the sketch.
There are $5$ grids smaller than $3\times 2$, vertical and horizontal dimensions being important, i.e. $1\times 1$, $2\times 1$, $3\times 1$, $1\times 2$ and $2\times 2$. If each of them is cross-hatched, the following number of different rectangles could be situated within those smaller grids:
size | count |
---|---|
1x1 | 1 |
2x1 | 4 |
3x1 | 8 |
1x2 | 4 |
2x2 | 18 |
Adding those to the $37$ of the $3\times 2$ grid, a total of $72$ different rectangles could be situated within $3\times 2$ and smaller grids.
How many different rectangles could be situated within $47\times 43$ and smaller grids?
