Answer:
$75.47\ ft$

Explanation:

Given

String of the kite is
$l=100\ ft$

Angle of elevation
$\theta=49^(\circ)$

suppose altitude of the kite is h

from the figure, we can write

$\Rightarrow \sin 49^(\circ)=(h)/(100)\\\\\Rightarrow h=100\sin 49^(\circ)\\\\\Rightarrow h=75.47\ ft$

Thus, the altitude of the kite is
$75.47\ ft$
