Kite is
ft above the ground.
Kite moves horizontally at a speed of
ft/s.
Assume that kite be at the point
and string on the ground at the point
.
Assume horizontal distance between the kite and ground is
.
Length of the string is
.
Speed of the kite is
ft/s.

Consider
.

Find the horizontal distance from kite to the string.
\Consider
\
Substitute
in above expression.

Find the relation between the horizontal distance and height:
\Consider
.

Differentiate on each side with respect to
.

Substitute
,
and
in above expression.

Here the negative sign indicates angle is decreasing.
\Rate at which angle between the string and the horizontal decreasing is
rad/s.
Rate at which angle between the string and the horizontal decreasing is
rad/s.
