Projectile Question?

To win the game, a place kicker must kick a
football from a point 44 m (48.1184 yd) from
the goal, and the ball must clear the crossbar,
which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball
leaves the ground with a speed of 24 m/s at
an angle of 30.1◦ from the horizontal.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
By how much vertical distance does the ball
clear the crossbar? Answer in units of m.

Welcome to PF.

What equations would you use to go about figuring it out?
