IIT-JEE 1988Question 56
A sign-post in the form of an isosceles triangle $ABC$ is mounted on a pole of height $h$ fixed to the ground. The base $BC$ of the triangle is parallel to the ground. A man standing on the ground at a distance $d$ from the sign-post finds that the top vertex $A$ of the triangle subtends an angle $\beta$ and either of the other two vertices subtends the same angle $\alpha$ at his feet. Find the area of the triangle.
