Problem Statement

Two arbitrary distinct lattice points are selected on the coordinate plane within the square marked by the points (0,0)(0,0), (3,0)(3,0), (0,3)(0,3), and (3,3)(3,3) (the lattice points may lie on a side or a corner of the square). What is the probability that the distance between the two points is at most 2\sqrt{2}?
