A tower `P Q` stands at a point `P` within the triangular park `A B C` such that the sides `a , ba n dc` of the triangle subtend equal angles at `P ,` the foot of the tower. if the tower subtends angles `alpha,betaa n dgamma,a tA , Ba n dC` respectively, then prove that `a^2(cotbeta-cotgamma)+b^2(cotgamma-cotalpha)+a^2(cotalpha-cotbeta)=0`
