James is playing basketball. He is standing 1m away from the basket net. He throws the basketball 2m at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the ground towards the net. what is the height of the basketball from the ground?

So much ambiguity in the one problem.

If the ball traveled in a straight line for 2m at a 45° angle, then it rose
2sin45° = √2 m upward.
