acceleration due to gravity questions

when an object is dropped from a height of 10m above the surface of the planet z, it takes 1.2 seconds for the object to reach the surface. what is the acceleration of a falling object near the surface of the planet?
Distance fallen = (1/2) a t^2

Solve for a
is it 1.6m/s^2
No. Did you use

a = 2 (Height)/t^2 ?
