The angle of elevation of the top of a tower standing on a horizontal plane from a point A is ?. After walking a distance a towards the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation is found to be ?. The height of the tower is :

Let OP be the tower of height h (say) and A and B be the two positions on the horizontal line through O, such that
?OAP = ?, ?OBP = ? and OB = x
In ?OBP, Use the trigonometry formula
Tan? = P/B = Perpendicular distance / Base distance
Tan? = OP/OB
? OB = OP/Tan?
? OB = OP Cot?
Put the value of OB and OP , We will get
x = h Cot ?...............(1)
In ?OAP, Similarly
Tan? = OP/OA
? OA = OP/ Tan?
? OA = OP Cot ?
Put the value of OA and OP
? a + x = h Cot ?
? x = h Cot ? - a ............(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
? h Cot ? = h Cot ? - a
? a = h Cot ? - h Cot ?
? a = h (Cot ? - Cot ?)
? a = h (Cos ?/ Sin ? - Cos ? / Sin ? )
? a = h( (Cos ? Sin ? - Cos ? Sin ? ) /Sin ? Sin ? )
? a = h( Sin(? - ?) / Sin ? Sin ?)
? h = a Sin ? Sin ?/ Sin(? - ?)
