The largest doors in the world are located in the Vehicle Assembly Building near Cape Canaveral, Florida.
If the angle of elevation from a point on the ground 199 ft from the base of the doors is 66.6°, how high are the doors?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

h = 199*tan(66.6°) = 199*2.311 = 459.85 ft =~ 260 ft
