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

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

We are given:

  • Volume \( V = 75 , \text{cm}^3 \)
  • Length \( \text{length} = 2 , \text{cm} \)
  • Width \( \text{width} = 10 , \text{cm} \)

We need to find the height \( h \).

Rearranging the formula to solve for height, we get:

\[ h = \frac{V}{\text{length} \times \text{width}} \]

Substituting the values we have:

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

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]

Now substituting it back into the equation for height:

\[ h = \frac{75}{20} = 3.75 , \text{cm} \]

Thus, the height of the right rectangular prism is \( \boxed{3.75} , \text{cm} \).
