Height of the kite from the ground = 50 feet
Angle at which the kite is flying = 45 degrees
Let us assume the length of the string = x feet
Then
x = 50 (square root 2)
   = 50 1.414
   = 70.7 feet
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b".
