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 can rearrange the formula to solve for height:

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

Substituting the values we have:

\[ \text{Height} = \frac{75 , \text{cm}^3}{2 , \text{cm} \times 10 , \text{cm}} = \frac{75 , \text{cm}^3}{20 , \text{cm}^2} \]

Now, calculating the height:

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

So the height of the right rectangular prism is

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