A marble statue of height `h_1` metres is mounted on a pedestal. The angles of elevation of the top and bottom of the statue from a point `h_2` metres above the ground level are `alpha and beta` respectively. Show that the height of the pedestal is `((h_1 - h_2)tan beta + h_2 tan alpha)/(tan alpha - tan beta).`
