The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height. Since the base area of the pyramid is 15 cm^2 and the volume is 20 cm^3, we can plug in these values into the formula and solve for the height.
20 = (1/3) * 15 * height
20 = 5 * height
height = 20 / 5
height = 4 cm
Therefore, the height of the rectangular prism is 4 cm.
