Length of the string forms the hypotenuse AC of right angle triangle ABC.
C is the kite. A is the hand of the person (or, one end of the string). CB is the perpendicular (height of the kite ) from C on the ground. BC is the horizontal.
Sin 60° = CB/AC = √3/2
height = 1.73/2 * AC = 0.865 * 100 m = 86.5 m
