Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
All of the squares of size $5 \times 5$, $4 \times 4$, and $3 \times 3$ contain the black square and there are $1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 = 14$ of these. In addition, 4 of the $2 \times 2$ squares and 1 of the $1 \times 1$ squares contain the black square, for a total of $14 + 4 + 1 = 19$.
所有大小为 $5 \times 5$、$4 \times 4$ 和 $3 \times 3$ 的正方形都包含黑色方块,这些共有 $1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 = 14$ 个。此外,4 个 $2 \times 2$ 正方形和 1 个 $1 \times 1$ 正方形包含黑色方块,总共 $14 + 4 + 1 = 19$ 个。
