What is the formula for the height of a pole?

$h = rac{d \sin \alpha}{\sin eta} an eta$ (correct)
$h = d \cos \alpha$
$h = d an \alpha$
$h = rac{d \sin eta}{\sin \alpha}$

In triangle FAB, what is the relation between FB and d?

FB = d
FB = d $\sin \alpha$
FB = d $\cos \alpha$
FB = $rac{d \sin \alpha}{\sin eta}$ (correct)

What is the formula for the height of a building?

$h = b \cos \alpha$
$h = rac{b \sin \alpha \sin heta}{\sin(eta + heta)}$ (correct)
$h = b \sin \alpha$
$h = rac{b \cos \alpha}{\sin heta}$
