Need explanation for Physics question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-19] [Hit: ]
5 m high rock with a speed of 3.5 m/s. How far from the base of the rock will she land?-if the initial motion is horizontal, then the time of flight will be equal to the time it takes to fall a distance of 5.5m,......
So I already did the question, but I do not know if my answer is correct. Could someone please do it plus include your work so I could compare? Question: A tiger leaps horizontally from a 5.5 m high rock with a speed of 3.5 m/s. How far from the base of the rock will she land?

-
if the initial motion is horizontal, then the time of flight will be equal to the time it takes to fall a distance of 5.5m, and this time is

t = Sqrt[ 2 h/g] where h is 5.5m and g is 9.8m/s/s

if this is the time of flight, the horizontal distance traveled is just 3.5 m/s x time of flight

substitute values and solve for distance traveled
