How high did I jump?

Ok so I jumped 18" up and 13" over.

Everyone happy?

Why does using math to solve real life problems make me a nerd?

Because that is not a real life problem. What you are solving is called
a waste of time. You landed it, it was fun, now get over it and go ride
some more, or look around for some problems that are actually worth
solving.

A real life problem is something like:
You need to know the length of the 2x10" wood supports for the flight
of stairs that you are building. You already know the height and
horizontal offset of the stairs.
or...
You have a piston engine with a red zone of 8,000 rpm. You need to know
the maximum acceleration of the piston at any time in order to
calculate the minimum gas pressure in the cylinder to run the engine.
Yes, the pythagorrean theorem comes into play there.

oh it wont work, the hypoteneuse is the diagonal on a triangle


Whatever that is supposed to mean.

A hypotenuse of a right triangle is its largest side. Pythagorean
identity a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are
the two other sides. I don't know why I'm explaining this, you guys
should be able to look it up yourselves.

Edit: Jerrick beat me to it.

Yeah, the pythagorean theorem is really basic stuff.

I dont even see how you could take the length of the hypotenuse and use
that for the height of your jump. It doesn't even make sense to use it
that way.

You could measure the jump with your hypothenuse and its angle with the
ground, except it's a bit silly and overcomplicated.
