b. Determine the Range of the projectile as meaured from the base of the cliff
c. At the instant just before the projectile hits point P, find the horizontal and the vertical components of its velocity.
d. What is the magnitude of the velocity?
e. What is the angle made by the velocity vector with the horizontal?
f. Find the maximum height above the cliff top reached by the projectile.

The Attempt at a Solution
Sorry if this seems to easy for you, but I'm 48 and my math skills aren't as sharp as they used to be. I am particualary stuck on trying to solve for the time. How do Solve for t? forgot the rules on how to factor out the t, so here is what I had:
y=265m=(69.2087)(t)-(1/2)(9.8)(t)^2
