so one vertex is fixed and we rotate this square. In a way we are rotating the square around its diagonal.
thus it is a circle with radius as diagonal of the square..
perimeter = 20...side = 20/4=5
diagonal = $$5\sqrt{2}$$
thus $$x^2+y^2=r^2=(5\sqrt{2})^2=50$$
now 50 = 1+49=1^2+7^2 , so x and y can take values 1 or -1 and 7 or -7
In each quadrant - 2 values

next 50=5^2+5^2 so 5 or -5
in each quadrant = 1 value

total (2+1)*4=12
