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

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

Given:

  • Length (\(L\)) = 2 cm
  • Width (\(W\)) = 10 cm
  • Volume (\(V\)) = 75 cm³

You can rearrange the formula to solve for height (\(H\)):

\[ H = \frac{V}{L \times W} \]

Substituting the known values:

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

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]

Now, substitute that back into the equation for height:

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

Thus, the height of the right rectangular prism is:

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

This is already in decimal form and rounded to the nearest hundredth.
