horizontal range of a Projectile formula

\(  R =   v_0^2 \; sin \; 2 (\theta)  \;/\; g \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( R \) = horizontal range \( ft \) \(\ m \)
\( v_0 \) = launch velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\)  \(m\;/\;s\) 
\( \theta \) = vertical angle \( deg \) \( rad \)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration  \(ft\;/\;sec^2\)   \(m\;/\;s^2\)
