Answer

The maximum height is $~~9.3~ft$

Work Step by Step

On the graph, we can see that the shot reaches maximum height in a time of $~~0.625~s$ In part(a), we found that $~~v_{0y} = 20~ft/s$ We can find the maximum height: $y = y_0+v_{0y}~t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ $y = (3.0~ft)+(20~ft/s)(0.625~s)-\frac{1}{2}(32~ft/s^2)(0.625~s)^2$ $y = 9.3~ft$ The maximum height is $~~9.3~ft$
