Only given displacement vector and initial speed, solve for theta

[i_heart_you]

Homework Statement

A ball is thrown with a speed of 70m/s and hits the top of a wall which is 20m tall and 100m away. Find the angle that the ball was thrown at

Homework Equations

d= V0xt + 1/2 a t^2
a = Vf-V0/t
sin^2(theta) = 1 - cos^2 (theta)

The Attempt at a Solution

I found the initial velocity in terms of theta V= 70cos(theta) x + 70sin(theta) y
the part I'm stuck on is apparently we are supposed to find the time from the horizontal displacement somehow. That i am stuck on because it seems like a i have too many variables and not enough information. any help is appriciated

I think you have all the information you need. You can write separate equations for the x and y displacement in terms of theta and t. This is two equations and two unknowns.
