Undergrad Finding the change in position and angle after moving the rectangle

Click For Summary
To determine the angle and position needed to return a moved rectangle to its original position, one can use vector mathematics. By drawing lines between corresponding points of the original and moved rectangles, the angle between these lines can be calculated. The change in position is influenced by the timing and method of rotation applied. The discussion highlights the simplicity of using vectors for this calculation. Ultimately, the problem was resolved effectively through this approach.

Finding the change in position and angle after moving the rectangle

I am curious about how to approach the problem mathematically, so I write.

There are 4 dots on the square and I know the location.

The rectangle moves and the positions and angles of the four points change.

I also know the location of the four points that have changed.

I don't know the changed angle.

How can I find the angle and value to move to the initial position?

I would like to know the calculation of the angle and position values required for the rectangle to return to its original position.

Please advise.

I want to correct the position by checking the position of the tray with the camera.
 
Draw a line between X1,Y1 and X2,Y2. Draw the line between the same points of the moved rectangle. Find the angle between the two lines. This is very simple with vectors.

The change in position depends on how and when you do the rotation.

Thanks for your help.
Thanks to you, I was able to solve it simply.

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
