A stone projected with a velocity u at an angle θ with the horizontal reaches maximum height H₁. When it is projected with velocity u at an angle $\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2} - \mathrm{\theta }\right)$ with the horizontal, it reaches maximum height H₂. The relation between the horizontal range R of the projectile, H₁ and H₂ is 

• R = $4 \sqrt{{\mathrm{H}}_1 {\mathrm{H}}_2}$

• R = 4 ( H₁ - H₂ )

• R = 4( H₁ + H₂ )

• R = $\frac{{\mathrm{H}}_1^2}{{\mathrm{H}}_2^2}$
