This math topic involves calculating the rise (height) based on given values of slope and run. It forms part of an introductory unit on slope, focusing on understanding and applying the concept of slope as the ratio of rise over run, using integers in the calculations. The exercises presented require determining the rise either in the context of a ski jump or a roof, enhancing practical understanding of slope in real-life scenarios. Each problem offers multiple-choice answers to select from after calculation, reinforcing skills in interpreting and solving slope-related problems.
