# A gun can fire a bullet to height \( h \) when fired straight up. If the same gun is pointed at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) from the vertical, what is the new maximum height of the projectile?

A gun can fire a bullet to height \( h \) when fired straight up. If the same gun is pointed at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) from the vertical, what is the new maximum height of the projectile?

- **A.** \(\frac{h}{4}\)
- **B.** \(\frac{h}{2\sqrt{2}}\)
- **C.** \(\frac{h}{2}\)
- **D.** \(\frac{h}{\sqrt{2}}\)
- **E.** \(h\)
