Janiah is a softball player who plays second base (position 4). She can throw a softball in a perfect parabolic arc to throw out a runner trying to steal home plate (position 2), which is 70 feet.  B. If Janiah does not feel confident in her ability to throw, she can throw it to the pitcher (position 1) instead. The pitcher is 20 feet away in front of Janiah and the pitcher is only able to reach up to 8 feet vertically. Will the pitcher be able to catch Janiah's throw?  (please explain each step and we don't do the formula of projectile)
