First let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)

Vertical component y:

The initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum height of h, the vertical velocity will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:

h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g

where g is  acceleration due to gravity

Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g] 
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g 
 D = (V²sin2θ)/g

In order for D (horizontal distance) to be maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,

2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2  or  θ = π/4


Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>
