Choosing rectangles(including squares) are just like choosing 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines.
In a 9 × 5 rectangle we have 6 vertical lines and 1 0 horizontal lines
So, 2 vertical lines can chosen in ( 2 1 0 ) ways from 1 0 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines can chosen in ( 2 6 ) ways from 6 horizontal lines
So, in a 9 × 5 rectangle number of rectangles (including squares) possible are:
( 2 1 0 ) × ( 2 6 ) = 2 ! ⋅ 8 ! 1 0 ! × 2 ! ⋅ 4 ! 6 ! = 2 1 0 × 9 × 2 6 × 5 = 6 7 5
