Answer:

x=134.05m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slant Height of Kite
h_s=175

Angle
$\theta=40 \textdegree$

Since Emma,The Kite and Andrew forms a right angle triangle

Generally the equation for distance between Andrew from Emma is mathematically given by

$x=h_scos\theta$

x=175cos40

x=134.05m
