To find the height of the parallelogram, you can use the area formula:

\[
\text{Area} = b \cdot h
\]

where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height.

You know the area is 108 square feet and the base is 9 feet. Plugging the values into the equation, you have:

\[
108 = 9 \cdot h
\]

To solve for \(h\), divide both sides by 9:

\[
h = \frac{108}{9} = 12 \text{ ft}
\]

The height of the parallelogram is **12 ft**.
