The area of the rectangle is the product of its base and height

The height of the rectangle is 4x - 2 units

The given parameters are:

Area = 4x^2 - 2x

Base = x

The area of the rectangle is:

Area = Base * Height

This gives

4x^2 - 2x = x * Height

Divide through by x

4x - 2 = Height

Rewrite as:

Height = 4x - 2

Hence, the height of the rectangle is 4x - 2 units
