The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many squares of diagonals of length 2 can be formed by the given families of lines. The lines are defined as \( y = x + r \) and \( y = -x + r \) for \( r \) in the set \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\}. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lines**: - The lines \( y = x + r \) are diagonal lines with a positive slope, while the lines \( y = -x + r \) are diagonal lines with a negative slope. - For each value of \( r \), there are two lines: one from the first family and one from the second family. 2. **Finding the Slope Intersections**: - The lines will intersect at points that can potentially be the vertices of squares. - For each \( r \), the lines will intersect at the points: - \( (r, 0) \) for \( y = x + r \) - \( (0, r) \) for \( y = -x + r \) 3. **Length of the Diagonal**: - The length of the diagonal of a square is given as 2 units. - The relationship between the side length \( s \) of a square and its diagonal \( d \) is given by the formula: \[ d = s\sqrt{2} \] - Therefore, if \( d = 2 \), we can find \( s \): \[ 2 = s\sqrt{2} \implies s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} \] 4. **Counting the Squares**: - To form a square, we need two pairs of parallel lines. - For each \( r \), we can choose two lines from the first family and two lines from the second family. - Since \( r \) can take on 5 values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), we can choose 2 lines from the 5 available lines in each family. 5. **Calculating the Combinations**: - The number of ways to choose 2 lines from 5 is given by the combination formula: \[ \binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} \] - Thus, the number of ways to choose 2 lines from the first family is \( \binom{5}{2} \) and from the second family is also \( \binom{5}{2} \). - Therefore, the total number of squares formed is: \[ \text{Total Squares} = \binom{5}{2} \times \binom{5}{2} = 10 \times 10 = 100 \] ### Final Answer: The number of squares of diagonals of length 2 formed by the lines is **100**.
