Consider an equilateral triangular grid
G
G
G
with
20
20
20
points on a side, where each row consists of points spaced
1
1
1
unit apart. More specifically, there is a single point in the first row, two points in the second row, ..., and
20
20
20
points in the last row, for a total of
210
210
210
points. Let
S
S
S
be a closed non-self-intersecting polygon which has
210
210
210
vertices, using each point in
G
G
G
exactly once. Find the sum of all possible values of the area of
S
