The angle of elevation of a cliff from a fixed point is `theta`. After going up a distance of `k` meters towards the the top the cliff at an angle of `phi`, it is found that the angle of elevation is `alpha`. Show that the height of cliff is ` k(cos phi - sin phi cot alpha)/(cot theta - cot alpha)`
