To find the height of a right rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given:

  • Volume \( V = 75 \) cm³
  • Length \( l = 2 \) cm
  • Width \( w = 10 \) cm

We can rearrange the formula to solve for height \( h \):

\[ h = \frac{V}{l \times w} \]

Substituting in the given values:

\[ h = \frac{75}{2 \times 10} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]

Now substituting that back into the equation for height:

\[ h = \frac{75}{20} = 3.75 \]

So, the height of the rectangular prism is:

\[ \boxed{3.75} \text{ cm} \]
