\n" ); document.write( " What is the rise of jade's stride?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the relationship of rise and run is same for each hiker
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2F32\"$ = $\"r%2F36\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "32r = 8*36
\n" ); document.write( "32r = 288
\n" ); document.write( "r = 288/32
\n" ); document.write( "r = 9 inches is J's rise \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
