You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%28t%29=60cos%2825%29%2At=50
t=50%2F%2860cos%2825%29%29=0.919
Find y when t=0.919
y%28t%29=60sin%2825%29t-%281%2F2%29gt%5E2
where g is the gravitational constant.
At t=0.919 sec
y=60sin%2825%29%280.919%29-%281%2F2%29%2832%29%280.919%29%5E2
y=23.303-13.597
y=9.71 ft
Missed it by that much.
No, the wall is too high or the ball is not high enough.
