First, find the side length of the base of the pyramid by taking the square root of the base area:
√15 = 3.87 cm (rounded to nearest hundredth)
Then, use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (V = lwh) to find the height of the prism:
20 = 3.87 * 3.87 * h
20 = 15 * h
h = 1.33 cm (rounded to nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the height of the rectangular prism is 4 cm.
