Miranda hiked to the top of a waterfall. She wanted to know the waterfall's height, but she was unable to measure it. Miranda created a proportion using the information from triangles PQS and TRS to calculate the height of the waterfall.

How tall is the waterfall? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)
