PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

A boy flies a kite that initially is 120 feet directly above him. If the wind carries the kite horizontally at the rate of 30 feet/min, at what rate is the string being pulled out when the length of the string is 150 feet? It’s a related rates problem.

After one minute the string well be pulled out because if it is currently 120 and the rate is 30 ft/min after one minute it will be 150 ft above him so it will take 1 minute
