The Attempt at a Solution

*sigh* I'm afraid I don't have any work to submit with this one; I just can't seem to figure out how to work this problem... I've re-read it multiple times, and I'm uncertain how to go about doing it. I've looked at a similar type of problem, though the data included speed; this, I'm unsure how to work.

You should at least be able to write down some relevant equations. What type of motions are involved?

I'm thinking the equation to use may be Δx=vot+½at^2

Sure, that's a start.

You have both vertical and horizontal motion involved. Apply your knowledge of projectile motion and use that equation appropriately for both.
