Mathematics Question on Conic sections

Consider the hyperbola x2100y264=1\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1 with foci at SS and S1S_1, where SS lies on the positive xx-axis Let PP be a point on the hyperbola, in the first quadrant Let SPS1=α\angle \operatorname{SPS}_1=\alpha, with α<π2\alpha<\frac{\pi}{2} The straight line passing through the point SS and having the same slope as that of the tangent at PP to the hyperbola, intersects the straight line S1PS _1 P at P1P _1 Let δ\delta be the distance of PP from the straight line SP1SP _1, and β=S1P\beta= S _1 P Then the greatest integer less than or equal to βδ9sinα2\frac{\beta \delta}{9} \sin \frac{\alpha}{2} is ______

Answer
