Tiling with Polynominoes
Let’s consider tiling square grids using polynominoes of any number of units.
Let’s consider tiling square grids using polynominoes of any number of units.
If we separate all tetrominoes according to their perimeters, we would have two groups.
Polynominoes are figures made up of square units connected by edges.
Let’s consider tiling square grids with tetrominoes. Pieces can be rotated, reflected, and repeated as needed.
Consider drawing squares using the lattice points in a grid as vertices.
Consider trying to scramble a string of numbers, say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but with the requirement that none of the numbers can end up where they started. Let’s define this as a complete scramble.
For all questions in this problem, let’s ignore the effects of gravity, which means higher unit cubes can float in space without lower unit cubes to support them.
We choose one space in a rectangular grid made of unit squares, and we count the number of squares or rectangles that cover this space.
Continuing from last week’s problem about counting squares, let’s look at the related problem of counting the number of rectangles in a grid, with extensions
Consider the widely known problem of counting the number of squares in a square grid. Today we will try to extend the problem.
