The angle of elevation of the top point ...

The angle of elevation of the top point P of the vartical tower PQ of height h from a point A is `45^(@)` and from a point B, the angle of elevation is `60^(@)`. Where B is a point at a distance d from the point. A measured along the line AB which makes an angle `30^(@)` with AQ. Prove that `d=h(sqrt(3)-1)`.
