JAVA - size of a portion created by overlapping rectangles

Question

I looked at this post (Java check if two rectangles overlap at any point) to check the overlap of two rectangles. example image

Now i need to know the size of red rectangle. How can i do it?

I reformulate the question as seen in the image, I need to know the size of each red sub-rectangle Thank you in advance. Pasquale

Try scribble it on paper. min & max & x2 (= x + width) might help abstract things — Joop Eggen, Mar 20 '18 at 10:51
Use [`intersection()`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/Rectangle.html#intersection-java.awt.Rectangle-). Then multiply the `width` by the `height`. — Janez Kuhar, Mar 20 '18 at 10:55

Subtract the furthest-left side of the right-most rectangle from the furthest-right side of the left-most rectangle to get the width.

You can get the height using a similar technique with the Y axis.
