Hi, Can someone please walk me through this problem (; A hunter fires a bullet directly at a target on the same level 73.0 m away with a velocity of 190 m/s by how much will it miss target? And what angle should gun be at to hit target?

couldn't figure out the first half of the problem, but once you have the distance that the bullet drops you can use that, and the distance the hunter is away from the target to make a right triangle, and then you can calculate the angle needed for the bullet to land on target. |dw:1382335341236:dw| heres a diagram, you can flip the triangle over and it makes it easier
