Answer:
(4)/(3) units or
1.33 units

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by :-


\text{Area}=\text{base}*\text{height}

Given : A parallelogram has a base = 9 units

The area of parallelogram =12 square units

Let h be the height of parallelogram , then we have


12=9* h \\\\\Rightarrow\ h=(12)/(9)=(4)/(3)\approx1.33

Hence, the corresponding height = 1.33 units
