Answer

$R=1223.36$ feet. $H=364.49$ feet.

Work Step by Step

$R=\frac{v_0^2\sin{(2\theta)}}{g}=\frac{200^2\sin{(2\cdot50^\circ)}}{32.2}=\frac{40000\cdot0.985}{32.2}\approx1223.36$ feet. $H=\frac{v_0^2\sin^2{(\theta)}}{2g}=\frac{200^2\sin^2{(50^\circ)}}{2\cdot32.2}=\frac{40000\cdot(0.766)^2}{2\cdot32.2}\approx364.49$ feet.
