A batter hits a pitched ball at a height $4.0 \mathrm{ft}$ above the ground so that its angle of projection is $45^{\circ}$ and its horizontal range is $350 \mathrm{ft}$. The ball travels down the left field line where a 24 -fthigh fence is located $320 \mathrm{ft}$ from home plate. Will the ball clear the fence? If so, by how much?

A batsman hits the ball at a height of 4.0 ft from the ground at a projection angle of 45°, and the horizontal range is 350 ft. The ball falls on the left boundary line, where a 24 ft high fence is situated at a distance of 320 ft. Will the ball clear the fence?
