Answer:
If you are <u>traversing squares</u> then 7 different paths can be taken
If you are <u>traversing edges </u> then 36 different paths can be taken
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached a picture that would describe the grid which is 7 units long.
The solution to the general problem is if you have to take X right steps, and Y down steps then the number of routes is simply the ways of choosing where to take the down (or right) steps. Such that:
Basically its the combination of terms.
In this problem,
If you are <u>traversing squares</u> then there are 6 right steps and 1 down step,
7 C 1 = 7 C 6= 7
If you are <u>traversing edges </u> then there are 7 right steps and 2 down steps:
9 C 2 = 9 C 7= 36
