as usual the math is incorrect. If base in correct and angle is correct then height must be

Tan of 48.75 = 1.140282

Height is 114.59 cubits which equals 60.015 meters

Base is 105 / 2 = 52.5

60.015 / 52.5 = 1.1431

Tan angle of 1.1431 = 48.82 degrees or 48° 49' 10.25"

If we use 60.00 meters even for the height we get 60.00 / 52.5 = 1.142857

Tan angle of 1.142857 = 48.814 or 48° 48' 50.66"

So it would appear that height was meant to be 60.00 meters and base 105 cubits.

HOWEVER

If we use 60.015 meters we get 114.59 cubits which is 360 / Pi

Wonder what it was supposed to be really.

But once again 58 meters as given is not even close.

Who writes this stuff ???
