This project highlights the evolution and engineering behind rockets, tracing their origins from ancient Chinese fireworks to modern-day space travel. The team, comprised of Conception Serrato, Giezi Henriquez, Elsi Martinez, and Miguel Montoya, conducted a practical experiment to compute the height of their rocket using trigonometry. By measuring the distance traveled and using a sextant to find the tangent at a specific angle, they successfully calculated the rocket's height, demonstrating teamwork, precision, and the application of mathematical concepts in real-world scenarios.

Making our Rocket BY: Conception Serrato, Giezi Henriquez, Elsi Martinez, Miguel Montoya
A Little Background Info • Rockets were first used in ancient China as ceremonial fireworks. • Rockets then were adopted by the Indians, Arabs, English, Mongols, and the North and South Americans. • Over time they have been used for things like weapons, photography, and space travel.
Trig to find height • First we had to identify our distance • We then discovered our tangent after firing our rocket using a sextant • Finally we multiplied the distance and tangent to find our height
COMPUTATION H=height=x D=distance=200 Tangent d =h/d= x/200 Angle=37 degrees tan 37=.745 200x.745=150.8 height=150.8
