Problem
How many non-congruent squares can be drawn, such that their vertices are lattice points on the 5 by 5 grid of lattice points shown? 
Solution
To start, we can clearly draw ,,,and squares. Next, we must consider the diagonals. We can draw squares with sides of and as shown: In addition, we can draw squares with side lengths diagonals of and rectangles as shown: Any larger squares will not be able to fit on the lattice. There are a total of possible squares.
Final answer
8
