An Egyptian pyramid has a square base and symmetrical sloping faces. The inclination of each sloping face is 53°07'. At a dis- tance of 600 ft from the base, on level ground, the angle of incli- nation to the apex is 27°09'. Find the vertical height and the slant height of the pyramid and the width of the pyramid at its base.
