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

Therefore, the vertical distance travelled by the ball is 31.5 ft which is 31.5 ft – 24 ft = 7.5 ft larger than the height of the fence.
Thus, the ball will clear the fence.
