There is a very important point is that the projectile has thrown parallel to X − a x i s . So the vertical component v 0 s i n θ = v 0 s i n 0 ∘ = 0 ..Now, h = v 0 s i n θ t + 2 1 g t 2 ⇒ h = 2 1 g t 2 ⇒ t = g 2 h Then the time came to find out the distance traveled on X − a x i s .. As this component is constant always, We can use the formula of uniform velocity. Then the equation forms, x = v 0 t ⇒ x = 2 g h ∗ g 2 h ⇒ x = 2 h
We know that,
x = v t . . . ( 1 ) where x is the distance.
h = u t + 2 1 g t 2 . . . . ( 2 ) where u = 0 .
We have v = 2 g h , now from ( 1 ) :
x = v t x = 2 g h ⋅ t ⟹ 2 g h x = t .
Substituting the value of t in ( 2 ) :
h h h h 4 h 2 ⟹ x = 2 g ( 2 g h x ) 2 = 2 g ( 2 g h x 2 ) = 4 g h g x 2 = 4 h x 2 = x 2 = 2 h

Applying Newton's equation, s = u t + 2 1 a t 2 in horizontal and vertical direction.
In horizontal Direction , x = t 2 g h + 0 . . 1 In vertical direction , h = 2 1 g t 2 . . 2 Substituting value of t from 2 in 1 ,
x = g 2 g h × 2 h x = 2 h
