A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff and is found to travel 44.1m in the last second before it reaches the ground. Find the height of the cliff. (Can we use 1:3:5 method if yes then how)

Solution
we know distance travelled in the nth second Sn= u+ 1/2*a* (2n-1)
here Sn=44.1 u=0 (initial velocity) a=9.8 m/s^2 since the time we taken is the last second n=t where t is the time taken to reach the ground
