An object is launched at speed v0v_0 up a hill sloped at 3030^{\circ} relative to the horizontal. The launch angle θ\theta (relative to the horizontal) that maximizes the range along the slope is given by the formula θ=45+α2\theta = 45^{\circ} + \frac{\alpha}{2}, where α\alpha is the slope angle of the hill. What is this optimal launch angle in degrees?
