Question

Slope is equal to rise divided by one. If you know the horizontal distance (run) in the slope, how can you find the vertical distance (rise)?

Answer 1

By multiplying the run by the slope, we get the rise value

Explanation:

Mathematically. we have

slope = rise/run

Now, given that we know the run and we have the value of the slope, how can we get the rise

To get the rise, we simply have to multiply the run by the value of the slope

Hence, multiplying the run by the value of the slope will give the value of the vertical distance which is the rise
