Please see the explanation
Explanation:
Assume the projectile is launched with a speed
Time of Flight:
Range of the projectile:
Height of the projectile:
Given that :
Now substitute the numerical values of
When the projectile is at maximum height, its coordinates are
So its distance from the origin is ;
From the numerical values of
