To solve the problem of counting the number of squares in a grid, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify Grid Dimensions

Let the grid have R rows and C columns (assume (R \leq C) for simplicity).

Step 2: Calculate Squares of Each Size

For each square size (s) (from 1 to R):
The number of (s \times s) squares = ((R - s + 1) \times (C - s + 1)).

This formula works because:

• To place an (s \times s) square, the top-left corner must be in a position where there are (s) rows below and (s) columns to the right.
• The number of valid top-left positions for rows = (R - s + 1) (e.g., for (s=2) in a 3-row grid: 3-2+1=2 positions).
• Similarly for columns: (C - s +1).

Step 3: Sum All Squares

Add the counts of squares for all sizes from (s=1) to (s=R).

Example

For a 3x3 grid:

• (s=1): (3×3=9)
• (s=2): (2×2=4)
• (s=3): (1×1=1)
  Total squares = (9+4+1=14).

General Formula for (n×n) Grid

If the grid is square ((R=C=n)), the total squares = (1^2 +2^2 + ... +n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}).

E.g., 8x8 chessboard: (\frac{8×9×17}{6}=204).

Apply this method to your grid's dimensions to get the answer!
If you share the grid size (rows × columns), I can compute the exact number for you.
