T1 + T2 = 3.5 : T1 time for the rock to reach bottom of well and T2 time for the sound to reach the top of the well.
16 * T12 = 1087 * T2 : same distance which the height of the well. T2 = 3.5 - T1 : solve for T2
16 * T12 = 1087 * (3.5 - T1)
T1 = 3.34 seconds
Height = 16 * (3.34)2 = 178 feet (to the nearest unit)

I throw a stone off a cliff 32 feet above the water. The height of the stone in terms of time (in seconds) is given by h(t) = -16t2 + 128t + 32. At what time will the stone splash into the water? Round
