You already know the area do you mean what is the height?

If so then it is worked out like this:-

1/2*(8+12)*height = 140

Multiply both sides by 2 and add up the numbers in the brackets

20*height = 280

Divide both sides by 20 to find the height:

height = 14 cm

Check: 1/2*(8+12)*14 = 140 square cm
