Please Help!!!

Miguel is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 3.5 feet above the ground and letting all the kite’s string play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 25^{\circ}

. If the string from the kite to his hand is 150 feet long, how many feet is the kite above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.
