Just substitute the respective variables into your formula v = lwh and solve away.
100 = 5*2*h, or 100 = 10h, or h = 100/10 = 10 cm., the height of the solid.

Vlome of the solid = 100 cm^3
..
Length = 5 cm
Width = 2cm
height = x
..
Volume V = L*W*H
V=5*2*x
5*2*x=100
10*x=100
/10
x= 10 cm the height
