Answer:
There are 204 squares in a standard chess board.
There are 1092 rectangles in a standard chess board.
Step by step explaination:
Squares:
Formula: Number of squares in a n*n Chessboard: 12 +22 +....+ n2 or [n*(n+1)*(2n+1)]/6
In a 2*2 chessboard, there are 5 squares (4 small squares, 1 big square)
=> 12 +22 = 5
So in a 8*8 chessboard, n=8
=> No. of squares = 12 + 22 + 32+.....+ 82
= [n*(n+1)*(2n+1)]/6 (summation formula)
= 204
Rectangles:
For an n*n chessboard, there are 13 + 23 + 33+.....+ n3 rectangles.
So for an 8*8 chessboard, there are, rectangles = 13 + 23+....+ 83
=> no. of rectangles = [{n2}*{(n+1)2}]/4
n=8, we get no. of rectangles = 1296
**No. of rectangles that are not squares in an 8*8 chessboard
=> 1296 - 204
= 1092
