Clearly, the angle of elevation is ?.
The initial angle at which the projectile is projected is ?. In the question, ? is given to be 45o.
Clearly, tan? = maximum height/half of range = [u2sin2?/2g]/[u2sin2?/2g] = sin2?/sin2?. Putting ? = 45o , we get:
tan? = 1/2. Hence then angle of elevation that we have to find out is tan-11/2
