While this problem can probably be solved kinematically, the easiest way to solve this problem is using the range formula (v^2/2g)(1+sqrt(1+2gy/v^2sin^2 x))(sin 2x) where x= theta.This simplifies to (((sqrt2256)+16)/16)x512/20 which when plugged into a calculator results as 101.5957 which is basically 101.596
