Answer:

Explanation:

Believe it or not, the two areas are the same.

The base of the rectangle is PQ

The height of the rectangle is PS

Now look at the parallelogram.

The base is PQ

The height is PS

The area has to be the same in both cases. There is no other way to interpret what is happening.
