How many paths are there from point (0,0) to point (50,50) on the two-dimensional plane if each step along a path increments one coordinate and leaves the others unchanged and there is an impassable obstacle at the points (10,11) and (20, 19)? Provide a formula representation of your result that includes binomial coefficients, and navigate the reader through the development of your formula.
