This math skill involves calculating the rise of a slope given its slope value and the run. This is done by rearranging the formula for slope, which is rise over run, to solve for rise. The rise can be found by multiplying the slope by the run.

Calculating rise from slope and run
Test your understanding of calculating rise from slope and run by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's calculate the rise, if we know the slope and run of this slope.
🎙️
We know that slope is equal to rise over run.
🎙️
So our slope, 3, is equal to our run over 2.
🎙️
Rearranging, we see that rise is equal to 3 times 2, which is 6
