It is defined as the horizontal distance covered to the maximum distance possible.
The horizontal range is a distance (OB) is:
OB = Horizontal component of velocity(ux) * Total time(t)
(ux = u cosθ and t = 2usinθ/g)
That is, Range(R) = ucosθ * 2usinθ/g
Horizontal Range of the projectile is:
Horizontal Range(R) = u2sin2θ/g
( sin2θ = 2cosθsinθ )
