A person observes the angle of elevation of the peak of a hill from a station to be `alpha`. He walks c metres along a slope inclined at the angle `beta` and finds the angle of elevation of the peak of the hill to be `gamma`.Show that the height of the peak above the ground is `(c sinalphasin(gamma-beta))/(sin(gamma-alpha))`
