Find vertex coordinates of all possible rectangles with a given vertex and dimensions

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Given two integers L and B representing the length and breadth of a rectangle and a coordinate (X, Y) representing a point on the cartesian plane, the task is to find coordinates of all rectangles having a vertex as (X, Y) of the given dimensions.

Example:

Input: X=9, Y=9, L=5, B=3
Output:
(9, 9), (14, 9), (9, 12), (14, 12)
(4, 9), (9, 9), (4, 12), (9, 12)
(9, 6), (14, 6), (9, 9), (14, 9)
(4, 6), (9, 6), (4, 9), (9, 9)
(9, 9), (12, 9), (9, 14), (12, 14)
(6, 9), (9, 9), (6, 14), (9, 14)
(9, 4), (12, 4), (9, 9), (12, 9)
(6, 4), (9, 4), (6, 9), (9, 9)
Explanation: There are 8 possible rectangles such that one of their vertex is (9, 9) and the length and breadth is 5 and 3 respectively as mentioned above.

Input: X=2, Y=3, L=4, B=1
Output:
(2, 3), (6, 3), (2, 4), (6, 4)
(-2, 3), (2, 3), (-2, 4), (2, 4)
(2, 2), (6, 2), (2, 3), (6, 3)
(-2, 2), (2, 2), (-2, 3), (2, 3)
(2, 3), (3, 3), (2, 7), (3, 7)
(1, 3), (2, 3), (1, 7), (2, 7)
(2, -1), (3, -1), (2, 3), (3, 3)
(1, -1), (2, -1), (1, 3), (2, 3)

 

Approach: It can be observed that for a given length and breadth and a vertex (X, Y), eight rectangles are possible as shown in the images below:

If the given length and breadth of the rectangles are equal, both the horizontal and vertical rectangles will represent the same coordinates. Hence, only 4 unique squares are possible either shown in image 1 or in image 2.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++
// C++ code for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

void printHorizontal(int X, int Y, int L, int B)
{
    cout << '(' << X << ", " << Y << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X + L << ", " << Y << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X << ", " << Y + B << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X + L << ", " << Y + B << ")"
         << endl;
}

void printVertical(int X, int Y, int L, int B)
{
    cout << '(' << X << ", " << Y << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X + B << ", " << Y << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X << ", " << Y + L << "), ";
    cout << '(' << X + B << ", " << Y + L << ")"
         << endl;
}

// Function to find all possible rectangles
void findAllRectangles(int L, int B, int X, int Y)
{

    // First four Rectangles
    printHorizontal(X, Y, L, B);
    printHorizontal(X - L, Y, L, B);
    printHorizontal(X, Y - B, L, B);
    printHorizontal(X - L, Y - B, L, B);

    // If length and breadth are same
    // i.e, it is a square
    if (L == B)
        return;

    // Next four Rectangles
    printVertical(X, Y, L, B);
    printVertical(X - B, Y, L, B);
    printVertical(X, Y - L, L, B);
    printVertical(X - B, Y - L, L, B);
}
