Rockets

X = Length
Y = Distance/Height

What is the effect of X on Y?
          We found that the longer the rocket was, the greater the distance it went up.

We found the height by finding the angle, converting it into the tangent and then multiplying that by the length we were away from the launcher which was 10 meters.

The distance we came up with for our shorter rocket was 21.4 meters high.
The distance we came up with for our taller rocket was 27.4 meters high.

The control we used was the same number of fins on each rocket and we had the same amount of pressure used for each rocket.
