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

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

We are given:

  • Volume = 75 cm³
  • Length = 2 cm
  • Width = 10 cm

We need to find the height (h). Plugging the values into the volume formula, we have:

\[ 75 = 2 \times 10 \times h \]

Simplifying this gives:

\[ 75 = 20h \]

To solve for \( h \), divide both sides by 20:

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

Calculating the division:

\[ h = 3.75 \]

Thus, the height of the right rectangular prism is:

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