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

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

We are given the following values:

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

We need to find the height (\( h \)). Rearranging the volume formula to solve for height, we have:

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

Substituting in the known values:

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

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 2 \times 10 = 20 \]

Now we can find \( h \):

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

Thus, the height of the right rectangular prism is:

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