In order to find the height of the parallelogram, we can use the following formula for its area:


A=b\cdot h

Where A is the area, b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.

Using A = 54 and b = 9, we can solve the equation for h:


\begin{gathered} 54=9\cdot h \\ h=(54)/(9) \\ h=6 \end{gathered}

So the height of the parallelogram is 6 inches.
