Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The half-open unit cells are listed by lower-left coordinates as [(-2, -2), (-1, -2), (0, -2), (1, -2), (2, -2), (-2, -1), (-1, -1), (0, -1), (1, -1), (2, -1)]; each (i,j) represents [i,i+1)×[j,j+1). Find the area of their union in squared units.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The half-open unit cells are listed by lower-left coordinates as [(-2, -2), (-1, -2), (0, -2), (1, -2), (2, -2), (-2, -1), (-1, -1), (0, -1), (1, -1), (2, -1)]; each (i,j) represents [i,i+1)×[j,j+1). Find the area of their union in squared units.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

orthonormal equal-length coordinate units;half-open regions

After

area in squared length units

Conditions: none

Axes are orthogonal with equal length units;half-open boundaries make adjacent unit cells disjoint.Area uses squared units,not length units.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: half_open_area_convention · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

[[-2, -2], [-1, -2], [0, -2], [1, -2], [2, -2], [-2, -1], [-1, -1], [0, -1], [1, -1], [2, -1]]

After

[[-2, -2], [-2, -1], [-1, -2], [-1, -1], [0, -2], [0, -1], [1, -2], [1, -1], [2, -2], [2, -1]]

Conditions: none

Each integer lower-left corner identifies one half-open unit cell;repeated listings of that cell count only once.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: unit_cell_deduplication · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

[[-2, -2], [-2, -1], [-1, -2], [-1, -1], [0, -2], [0, -1], [1, -2], [1, -1], [2, -2], [2, -1]]

After

10 distinct, pairwise disjoint unit cells

Conditions: none

Distinct integer half-open unit cells are disjoint and each has area1;finite additivity gives union area,and an empty union has area0.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: disjoint_unit_cell_area · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

unit-cell union area := sum(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

After

unit-cell union area = 10

Conditions: none

Add one square unit per distinct cell;the empty sum is0.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute unit-cell union area with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

10

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
