Solving a Ball Thrown off a Cliff: How Long Does it Take?

[NotInMrPutmansClass]

Homework Statement

Find the height of a cliff using a ball thrown at an angle and find how long it takes the ball to hit the ground.

Relevant Equations

a-sinA, aCosA

This is the question:
A ball is thrown with a speed of 6m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal from the top of a cliff. The ball strikes the ground 15 m from the bottom of the cliff.

How long does it take the ball to strike the ground?

How long is the cliff?Here's a visual representation of the problem.

I broke the angle into vectors

I solved for the time of the ball in the
x-axis

t=d/v
t=15m / 5.4378m/s
t = 2.7584 Seconds

But now I'm stuck and I'm lost on what to do next

Welcome to PF.

I'm not able to see much in your attached images -- I seem to only be seeing thumbnail-size images and they are not well lit. Could you maybe use a printer/scanner to generate better copies?

After you post legible figures, you should write the appropriate equation(s) for the motion in the vertical direction.

I reposted the pictures and they seem to be fine now.

What's the problem with getting the height of the cliff, now you have the time of flight?
