Problem Understanding
We are given two geometric pieces, each described as a quadrilateral with a very specific structure: a right trapezoid. The coordinates of each shape are provided in clockwise order, and the geometry is already well-behaved in the sense that the bases are parallel to the x-axis and one corner is guaranteed to be a right angle in a fixed position. The task is to determine whether these two pieces can be placed in the plane, possibly rotated by any angle and translated freely, without overlap, so that together they exactly form a single axis-aligned rectangle.
The key point is that we are not asked to compute a placement. We only need to decide whether such a perfect tiling is possible under rigid motions.
Although rotation is allowed, the shapes are fixed polygons, so their intrinsic geometric properties do not change: side lengths, angles, and area remain invariant. This means the problem is fundamentally about whether two congruence classes of polygons can compose a rectangle.
The constraints are small enough that we are not expected to simulate geometry continuously or search placements. Coordinates are up to 3 · 10^4, so any approach relying on enumerating candidate configurations or fine geometric matching would be too slow or fragile. Instead, we expect a solution based on structural invariants such as area, angles, and side matching.
A naive but tempting failure mode is to assume that equal area is sufficient. That is not true. Two shapes can have the same combined area as a rectangle but still be impossible to arrange due to mismatched edge geometry.
A second subtle pitfall comes from rotation freedom. Many incorrect solutions try to normalize orientation by sorting edges or projecting to axes, but that loses adjacency constraints. The real constraint is that the union boundary must form exactly four straight segments.
A concrete counterexample pattern is when both trapezoids are identical but cannot align edges to form a rectangle boundary due to mismatched slanted sides. Another is when one shape is “too skewed” so that even though areas match, no pair of opposite sides can form straight rectangle edges.
Approaches
We start from the most direct idea: treat this as a geometric assembly problem. One could try all ways of rotating and placing the first trapezoid, then attempt to attach the second along any boundary segment and check if the union boundary becomes a rectangle. This quickly becomes a continuous search problem over angles and translations, which is infeasible.
Even if we discretize orientations, each trapezoid has infinitely many possible placements. The brute force approach degenerates into trying to match edges pairwise under arbitrary rotation, which is effectively matching all possible edge alignments under rigid motion. This is exponential in geometric degrees of freedom and not usable.
The key observation is that despite allowing arbitrary rotation, the problem is not about placement, but about whether the two shapes can form a rectangle boundary decomposition. A rectangle has a very rigid structure: its boundary consists of exactly four straight segments, and every corner is a right angle. Therefore, when two polygons form a rectangle without overlap, their union boundary must simplify to four axis-aligned edges after appropriate rotation of the final configuration.
Because we can rotate freely, we can assume the final rectangle is axis-aligned. That means each trapezoid, after rotation, contributes boundary edges that must pair up into horizontal and vertical segments of the rectangle. This reduces the problem to whether the edge structure of the two trapezoids can be partitioned into two pairs of opposite sides.
A right trapezoid has a very constrained edge structure: it has two parallel horizontal edges and two non-parallel sides, one vertical and one slanted. When two such shapes form a rectangle, their slanted edges must cancel out in the union boundary. This forces a strict matching condition: each slanted edge must be paired with another slanted edge of identical length and opposite orientation after rotation.
Thus, the solution reduces to checking whether the multiset of edge vectors from both trapezoids can be partitioned into two pairs forming perpendicular rectangle sides. Combined with area equality, this becomes a finite geometric matching problem.
We compute all edge vectors for both trapezoids, normalize them up to rotation invariants (lengths and relative orthogonality structure), and test whether they can form a rectangle boundary decomposition.
| Approach | Time Complexity | Space Complexity | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brute force placement search | exponential | high | Too slow |
| Edge structure + geometric invariants | O(1) | O(1) | Accepted |
Algorithm Walkthrough
- Compute all edge vectors of both trapezoids in order. Each edge is represented by its vector difference between consecutive points. This captures the exact geometric structure independent of position.
- For each trapezoid, compute side lengths and categorize edges into parallel groups. Since rotation is allowed, we only care about lengths and relative angles between edges, not absolute orientation.
- Compute total area of both trapezoids using the shoelace formula. If the sum of areas is not equal to the area of the bounding rectangle implied by potential extreme coordinates, immediately conclude impossibility. This ensures we are not trying to fill a rectangle of incompatible size.
- Identify all candidate rectangle side lengths. A valid rectangle formed by two polygons must have exactly two distinct side lengths among boundary edges, each appearing twice.
- Check whether the union of edge lengths from both trapezoids can be partitioned into two equal pairs corresponding to rectangle width and height. This requires matching lengths consistently across both shapes.
- Verify that slanted edges can be paired such that they cancel in the union boundary. In practice, this means every non-axis-aligned edge must appear in a symmetric counterpart after rotation.
- If all conditions are satisfied, output YES. Otherwise, output NO.
Why it works
The correctness relies on the fact that any rectangle decomposition by two polygons forces the boundary of the union to be exactly four straight segments. Since each trapezoid contributes a fixed finite set of edges, and rotation preserves lengths and relative angles, the only freedom is how these edges are paired. If any edge fails to find a matching counterpart in length and direction class, the boundary cannot collapse into a rectangle. Conversely, if all edges can be paired into two perpendicular direction classes with equal total extent, the polygons can be arranged so that their union boundary is a rectangle.

solve()
The implementation compresses the geometry to edge vectors and checks the only structural constraint that survives arbitrary rotation: every boundary edge must be pairable. The squared length is used to avoid precision issues and to keep comparisons invariant under rotation.
The parity condition enforces that edges must come in pairs, which is necessary for forming a closed rectangle boundary without leftover unmatched segments.
Worked Examples
Example 1
Input:
1 1 1 3 4 3 5 1
6 1 6 3 9 3 10 1
We compute edges for both trapezoids and reduce them to squared lengths.
| Step | Action | Edge lengths multiset | Parity check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First trapezoid edges | L1, L2, L3, L4 | partial |
| 2 | Second trapezoid edges | combined multiset | partial |
| 3 | Count occurrences | all even | pass |
Since every edge length appears an even number of times, all segments can be paired into opposite sides of a rectangle boundary, so the answer is YES.
This trace confirms that no edge is left unmatched, which is the core feasibility condition.
Example 2
Input:
1 1 1 2 4 2 3 1
0 0 0 1 5 1 3 0
| Step | Action | Edge lengths multiset | Parity check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First trapezoid | mixed lengths | partial |
| 2 | Second trapezoid | combined multiset | partial |
| 3 | Count occurrences | odd count exists | fail |
Here at least one edge length appears an odd number of times, meaning it cannot be paired into rectangle sides. The algorithm correctly outputs NO.
Complexity Analysis
| Measure | Complexity | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Time | O(1) | Only 8 points are processed, giving constant number of edge computations and hash operations |
| Space | O(1) | Fixed-size edge and frequency storage |
The input size is constant per test case, so the algorithm runs comfortably within limits even under multiple hidden tests.

Edge Cases
One subtle edge case is when both trapezoids are already rectangles. In that case every edge is axis-aligned, and the pairing condition reduces to checking whether the multiset of side lengths can form two equal pairs. The algorithm handles this correctly because all edges fall into two length groups with even multiplicity, producing YES when dimensions match.
Another case is when one trapezoid contributes a slanted edge that has no counterpart in the second shape. For example, a shape with a non-axis-aligned side will produce a unique squared length that appears once. The parity check immediately rejects it, correctly identifying that the boundary cannot be closed into a rectangle.
A third case is when both shapes are identical right trapezoids. Even though they have matching edges individually, if their slanted edges cannot be paired across shapes in equal direction classes, the odd-count condition triggers and the algorithm returns NO, matching the geometric impossibility of canceling the slanted boundary.
