What is the height of the leaning tower of pisa

Solve the all parts of following problem given below:

Problem: Galileo throws a rock off the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He throws the rock at an angle of 60 degrees with some unknown initial speed. The rock hits the ground 4.2 s after it is thrown and lands 16.2 m from the bottom of the Tower. You may ignore air resistance as well as the fact that the Tower actually leans slightly and is not perfectly vertical.

Part A: What is the initial speed that Galileo throws the rock?

Part B: What is the height of the leaning tower of Pisa?

Part C: How fast is the rock moving when it hits the ground?

I need help to find the initial speed that Galileo throws the rock.
