Here are the steps to solve this projectile motion problem:
A) Use the time equation: t = √(2y/g) = √(2*4.9/9.8) = 1.25 s
B) Use the horizontal distance equation: x = vot + 1/2at^2 = 20(1.25) = 25 m
C) Vertical acceleration is -9.8 m/s^2 (downward). Horizontal acceleration is 0.
D) Use the speed equation: v = vo + at = 20 + 0*0.8 = 20 m/s
