Stuck need help!

Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. 

Really struggling with this concept.

Please explain so I can better understand !

Thank you so much

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 40.0 m/s at 50.0° from the
horizontal. It lands on a hill 20 m above with respect to the launch elevation.
Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
