We have a window of which we know the length and area, we are asked to find what is its height from what we know.

For this we use the equation of the area of a rectangle, which is the following equation:

$A=b\cdot h$

Where in this case:

$\begin{gathered} b=8ft \\ h=\text{tall} \\ A=32ft^2 \end{gathered}$

Now, we replace and solve:

$\begin{gathered} 8ft\cdot h=32ft^2 \\ h=(32ft^2)/(8ft) \\ h=4ft \end{gathered}$

In conclusion, the window is 4 feet tall.
