1) Split problem into x and y components, or horizontal and vertical
2) Calculate time using y components
3) Substitute this answer into same equation for x component, solving for d

Final answer: 65.46 cm

Note: This answer assumes that the ball is launched at the very edge of the table and that the ball lands at the very left edge of the can (if the ball is launched to the right)
