Hi.

As on the picture their top corners still remain unconnected.
If it was two rectangles connected with two corners, each of them would need some shear to be added, which, is a bit more complex than what you might be after.
Note that once these two are connected, you would have a line segment in between.

The cheapest solution would be to convert the rectangles to paths (Ctrl+Shift+C),
then duplicating and converting them to guides (Ctrl+D) and (Shift+G),
then snap the original path nodes to intersection points.

Once these were done, you would probably need to combine them together (Ctrl+K), and edit line segments with the node tool -unconnect vertical line segments in the middle, then merge double nodes.
