Well, the best way to solve this would involve the Pythagorean theorem.
First, take the length of the hypotenuse (the string in this case) and square it. Do the same to the side length we are given (the kites height above the ground).
We then subtract the squared height from the squared hypotenuse. We should be left with 1,781m.
All we have to do now is find the square root of 1,781m.
Your answer for b is 42.20189569m.
