3000. Maximum Area of Longest Diagonal Rectangle

Description

You are given a 2D 0-indexed integer array dimensions.

For all indices i, 0 <= i < dimensions.length, dimensions[i][0] represents the length and dimensions[i][1] represents the width of the rectanglei.

Return the area of the rectangle having the longest diagonal. If there are multiple rectangles with the longest diagonal, return the area of the rectangle having the maximum area.

 

Example 1:

Input: dimensions = [[9,3],[8,6]]
Output: 48
Explanation: 
For index = 0, length = 9 and width = 3. Diagonal length = sqrt(9 * 9 + 3 * 3) = sqrt(90) ≈ 9.487.
For index = 1, length = 8 and width = 6. Diagonal length = sqrt(8 * 8 + 6 * 6) = sqrt(100) = 10.
So, the rectangle at index 1 has a greater diagonal length therefore we return area = 8 * 6 = 48.

Example 2:

Input: dimensions = [[3,4],[4,3]]
Output: 12
Explanation: Length of diagonal is the same for both which is 5, so maximum area = 12.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= dimensions.length <= 100

 

Solutions

Solution: Brute Force

  • Time complexity: O(n)
  • Space complexity: O(1)

 

JavaScript

js
/**
 * @param {number[][]} dimensions
 * @return {number}
 */
const areaOfMaxDiagonal = function (dimensions) {
  let maxDiagonal = 0;
  let result = 0;

  for (const [length, width] of dimensions) {
    const diagonal = Math.hypot(length, width);

    if (diagonal < maxDiagonal) continue;

    const area = length * width;

    result = diagonal === maxDiagonal ? Math.max(area, result) : area;
    maxDiagonal = diagonal;
  }

  return result;
};
