Question
**Projectile Motion Analysis**

A cannonball is fired from a castle with the trajectory shown in the figure. The initial velocity components are 180 m/s (horizontal) and 66 m/s (vertical). The cannonball reaches its maximum height at point H and then hits the ground target at point G. 

**Question:** What is the height of point H from the ground without considering air resistance?

**Options:**
a) 222 m  
b) 242 m  
c) 45,000 m  
d) 444 m  
e) 464 m  

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram displays a cannonball launched at a 30-degree angle from a point 20 meters above the ground. The projectile follows a parabolic trajectory, reaching its peak at point H before descending to hit the ground at point G. The trajectory indicates both horizontal and vertical components of motion, with the initial position marked on a castle.
