From this note , we know that the number of quadrilaterals in an a × b a\times b grid is ( a + 1 2 ) × ( b + 1 2 ) = a b ( a + 1 ) ( b + 1 ) 4 {a+1\choose2}\times{b+1\choose2}=\frac{ab(a+1)(b+1)}{4}

Now, by substituting a = 20 a=20 and b = 30 b=30 , we would get 97650 97650 .

Thè number of quadrilaterals in ( 20 × 30 ) (20×30) grid

= n = 1 20 × n = 1 30 \displaystyle{\sum_{n=1}^{20}} × \displaystyle{\sum_{n=1}^{30}}

= 210 × 465 210 × 465
= 97650 \boxed {97650} _\square
