Knowing two points of a rectangle, how can I figure out the other two?

Question

Hey there guys, I\'m learning processing.js, and I\'ve come across a mathematical problem, which I can\'t seem to solve with my limited geometry and trigonometry knowledge o

Answer 1

  function getFirstPoint(x1,y1,x2,y2,l1,l2)
    distanceV = {x2 - x1, y2 - y1}
    vlen = math.sqrt(distanceV[1]^2 + distanceV[2]^2)
    normalized = {distanceV[1] / vlen, distanceV[2] / vlen}
    rotated = {-normalized[2], normalized[1]}
    p1 = {x1 - rotated[1] * l1 / 2, y1 - rotated[2] * l1 / 2}
    p2 = {p1[1] + rotated[1] * l1, p1[2] + rotated[2] * l1}
    p3 = {p1[1] + normalized[1] * l2, p1[2] + normalized[2] * l2}
    p4 = {p3[1] + rotated[1] * l1, p3[2] + rotated[2] * l1}
    points = { p1 , p2 , p3 , p4}
    return p1
end
