A little more perspective
The National Park Service gives equal 630-foot height and ground-level width. The metric value is an exact unit conversion of that published dimension, not a new millimeter-precision survey.
The arch opening remains empty in the comparison. A wide opening does not reduce its height: follow either steel leg to the same apex. Underground foundations and the visitor center are outside this above-ground reference. The oblique illustration preserves the vertical reference while foreshortening horizontal width; the picture is not a measured front elevation.
