Expert Answer
Imagine a point A directly below the aeroplane on the ground.
Let the distance of the point A from each of stones is x and y.
Then x+y =1 since these are consecutive stones.
Let us say the height of aeroplane is h.
So, x/h= cotc so, x=hcot?
and y/h = cot? so y=hcot?
adding the above two we get,
so x+y = h(cot? + cot?) = 1
hence h = 1/(cot? + cot?)
