Revision history [back]

To resize a rectangle to fit inside another rectangle that has been rotated, you can follow these steps:

1. Determine the dimensions of the larger, rotated rectangle – specifically, its width and height.

2. Calculate the coordinates of the four corners of the rotated rectangle.

3. Choose the smaller, un-rotated rectangle that you want to resize.

4. Calculate the coordinates of the four corners of the smaller rectangle.

5. Compute the center point of the larger, rotated rectangle by finding the midpoint of each of its sides.

6. Rotate each corner of the smaller rectangle by the same angle as the larger, rotated rectangle.

7. Determine the dimensions of the resized rectangle based on the rotated coordinates of its corners.

8. Draw the resized rectangle.

Note that this process may be easier using computer software, such as image editing tools, that allow for efficient resizing and rotation of shapes.
