Physics speed question?

Question

You and a friend stand on a snow-covered roof. You both throw snowballs from an elevation of 14 m with the same initial speed of 12 m/s, but in different directions. You through your snowball downward, at 40° below the horizontal; your friend throws her snowball upward, at 40° above the horizontal. What is the speed of each ball when it is 5.0 m above the ground? (Neglect air resistance.)

Answer 1

Use the acceleration due to gravity to calculate the speed of both snowballs at 5m.
