San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal is trying to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at Oracle Park. Lou wants to deliver a t-shirt into the hands of a fan standing 40 m away horizontally but 16 m above the launch point. If he angles the t-shirt cannon 45 above the horizontal, what speed does the cannon need to launch at to get the t-shirt to the fan? (You can ignore air resistance in this problem, although in the real world air resistance would be a significant consideration!)
