Products of Areas

In the figure, there is a rectangle and a point inside it. Two segments are drawn through the point, parallel to the sides of the rectangle, dividing the rectangle into 4 smaller rectangles.
Prove that the product of the areas of the shaded rectangles inside the rectangle is equal to the product of the areas of the unshaded rectangles inside the rectangle.
