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

\[ V = l \times w \times h \]

Where:

  • \(V\) is the volume,
  • \(l\) is the length,
  • \(w\) is the width,
  • \(h\) is the height.

According to the problem, we have the following information:

  • Volume \(V = 1.5 , \text{in}^3\)
  • The product of the length and width \(l \times w = 1.5 , \text{in}^2\)

Now, we can express the height \(h\) in terms of the volume and the product of length and width:

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

Substituting the provided values into the equation:

\[ h = \frac{1.5 , \text{in}^3}{1.5 , \text{in}^2} \]

Calculating this:

\[ h = 1 , \text{in} \]

Thus, the height of the prism is:

\[ \boxed{1 , \text{in}} \]
