A baseball leaves the bat an an angle theta with the horizontal and an inital velocity of v = 100 feet per second. The ball is caught by an outfielder 300 feet from home place. Find theta (in degrees) if the distance (d) from the batter to the outfieldre as measures along the ground is given by d=(1)/(32)v2sin(2\theta )
