The figure below is a simplified model of a Ferris wheel with diameter 250 feet. The top of the wheel is 261 feet above the ground. If θ is the central angle formed as a rider moves from position P0 to position P1, find the rider's height above the ground h when θ is 120°. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) h = __ ft.
