HELPP worth 95 points Use the Internet to identify a major league ballpark in which the distance from home plate to the center field fence and the height of the center field fence require that a ball hit 2 ft above the ground will necessitate an angle of elevation less than to just clear the center field

so Ive come to decide to pick the Yankees ballpark however the feet from the center field to home plate is 408 ft
through i don't understand what way do they want me to solve this, it was said to use the tangent ratio and inverse.
please help I'm struggling ):
