Use the ruler tool and run it along the edge of your slanted rectangle.
Make a note of the angle. In this case 30°
Click on Straighten
Use Free Transform to increase its height.
Use Free Transform again to rotate back using the pre noted angle.
Or, assuming that you iinittially created the rectangle perpendicular to the document boundary, before you do anything else, make it a Smart Object
