  2. Experiment Description • Our experiment is designed to tell us the altitude of our balloon using 3 different methods of altimetry. • Picture pixel ratios • Trigonometric triangle using Tangent • Barometric pressure

  3. Expectations • Hypothesis A: As the height is doubled, the amount of pixels the object takes will half. • Hypothesis B: Can determine altitude with horizontal known distance and tangent angle of elevation • Hypothesis C: The barometric pressure will lessen as height is increased.

  4. Camera Data This is where we measured the pixels of the pink ribbon.

  5. Barometer Data

  6. Trig Triangle Data

  7. Conclusions • Comparing the three methods, up to 500 ft of line, the calculated heights were similar. (within 5 ft) • After 500 ft, the results started to differentiate, due to visibility decreasing and unknown variables affecting the barometer.
