This math topic focuses on the concept of calculating the rise in various scenarios using the relationship between slope, rise, and run. Employing the formula "slope = rise/run," it helps in understanding how to determine the rise when the slope and run are known. Problems feature different settings such as ski jumps, hills, and roofs, which make the practice more engaging. The topic includes practice problems with multiple-choice answers, enhancing the ability to apply the formula to solve for rise effectively. Each question provides visual aids and answer choices represented by mathematical expressions.
