Answer:

107.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine Kite is a point A. The person ,who keeps the string is point B.

The height of flying is AC=85 ft.  So we have right triangle ABC :angle C=90 degrees, angle B is 52 degrees. Length of AB (triangle ABC hypotenuse) is the length of the string.

AB=AC/sinB=85/sin52=107.8665...=approx 107.9 ft
