How Long is a Stride? (Math Integration)

On page 19, the stide of the Giant is said to be "as long as a tennis court." What is a "stride"?

According to the World Book, 1991, the length of the tennis court is 78 feet. How many yards is that? Then, with a partner, use a yardstick to measure your own stride. How many strides would you have to take to equal one stride of the Giant?
