<Slider Name="RectangleHeight"  Margin="10, 0, 0, 0" 
  Width="100" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
  Value="50" Minimum="0" Maximum="200" 
  SmallChange="1" LargeChange="10"
  TickPlacement="BottomRight" TickFrequency="10"/>

<Rectangle Fill="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
           Margin="50,20,0,0" 
           Height="{Binding ElementName=RectangleHeight,Path=Value}" 
           Width="{Binding ElementName=RectangleWidth,Path=Value}"/>
