The Pyramid of the Sun in the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuacan was unearthed from 1904 to 1910. From a point on the ground 300 feet from the center of the pyramid's square base, the angle of elevation to its top would have been 31-degrees. What was the height of the pyramid to the nearest tenth of a foot?
