The punter stands on the 22 yard (roughly a meter) line to the left of the 50 yard line and the ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 25.3 m/s at an angle of 58.5° above the ground. How far from the punter is the football when it's at its max height?

Explanation:
To find the time to reach maximum height use:
The vertical component of velocity is
So this becomes:
The horizontal component of velocity is a constant
So distance = velocity x time:
