Choose … so that the change …, … takes the previous …

Change four-sided regions to squares.

Choose $a, b, c, d$ so that the change $x = a u + b v$ , $y = c u + d v$ takes the previous $R$ into $S$ , the unit square $0 \leq u \leq 1$ , $0 \leq v \leq 1$ . From the stretching factor $J = a d - b c$ find the area of $R$ .
