Formula Used:

Area of a parallelogram with base b and height h is :

A = bh

Calculation:

The base of given parallelogram is 8 m.

The height is x m.

  $\begin{array}{l}A=bh\\ \Rightarrow 148=8x\mathrm{...........}[A=148,b=8,h=x]\\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{148}{8}\mathrm{...........}[\text{divide each side by 8]}\\ \Rightarrow x=16\text{ meters}\end{array}$
