Expert Solution

Step 1

According to given data in right angle triangle length of string is equal to hypotenuse of triangle, height of kite is equal to altitude of triangle and angle $(θ)$ is $36^{\circ}$

We know that in a right angle triangle

$\sin θ = \frac{a l t i t u d e}{h y p o t e n u s e} . . (1)$

Here, $θ = 36^{\circ}, a l t i t u d e = h, h y p o t e n u s e = 40 f e e t$
