Horizontal distance travelled by the projectile during the time of flight is known as the range.
${\overrightarrow u_x}=+u$
${\overrightarrow a _x}=-0$
${\overrightarrow s _{x}}=+R$
$t = T = \sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} $
Therefore we can write kinematics equation which relates displacement and time as,
$${\overrightarrow s _x} = {\overrightarrow u _x}t + \frac{1}{2}{\overrightarrow a _x}{t^2}$$$$ + R = u\sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} + 0$$$$R = u\sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} $$
