phrasing question

Let's say there are two variables, angle of a cannon (X) and the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile (Y). The larger the angle of the cannon, the shorter the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile.

Let's say, I'm interested to know the X when Y is equal to 200 yards. What's the proper question?

My take:

What is the angle of the cannon that propels a projectile by 200 yards?

Please correct any grammatical mistakes in this post.

Thanks a lot!

If this was in a physics exam I think it would probably be written as "What is X, if Y is 200 yards?" as long as the explanation was given above.

The full question could be "What is the required angle of the cannon to propel a projectile 200 yards?"
