Answer

$76.0^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that the range and maximum are the same: $\implies R=Y_{max}$ $\frac{v_{\circ}^2}{g}sin2\theta=\frac{v_{\circ}^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$ This simplifies to: $\implies 2sin\theta cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}sin^2\theta$ $4cos\theta=sin\theta$ $\implies tan\theta=4$ $\implies \theta=tan^{-1}4$ $\theta=76.0^{\circ}$
