Intersection of two rectangles is a rectangle. I don't think any further explanation is really necessary. A bit of casework and the problem is done.

Good luck!

    Hmm sorry when my question is not clear. It mean you have n rectangles, you find the intersection areas of n rectangles.

By mentioning IT tree, which I suppose is segment tree, I think you realized this problem can be solved with sweep line and range queries. A classic problem would be to find union of $$$n$$$ rectangles instead of intersection. If you know how to solve for union, I think you can also solve for intersection.
