A baseball hit just above the ground leaves the bat at 24 m/s at 45 degrees above the horizontal. How far away does the ball strike the ground? Can you visually show the above.  It has to do with right angles and trigonometric functions, but I need your explanation to understand how this works, as I am new to this.
