A rectangle is a parallelogram but a parallelogram need not be a rectangle and so they are not the same.
Can a non rectangular parallelogram and a rectangle have the same area?
Yes.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a rectangle?
The area of a parallelogram is the length times the vertical height. In a rectangle, the vertical height is the same as the width so the area is length times width.
Why do the parallelogram and the rectangle have the same area?
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
How is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?

How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a rectangle?
The area of a parallelogram is the length times the vertical height. In a rectangle, the vertical height is the same as the width so the area is length times width.
How is the formula for the parallelogram related to the area formula of the rectangle?
