Consider an infinitesimal strip of capacitor of thickness dx at a distance x as shown. Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor of area A is given  by  C=ε0At
[Here  t=seperation between plates] 
So, capacitance of thickness dx will be  dC=ε02adxd+xtanα
Total capacitance of system can be obtained by integrating with limits  x=0  to  x=a
 Ceq=dC =2aε0x=0x=2adxxtanα+d  =2aε0x=0x=2adxd(1+xdtanα)
   Ceq=2aε0d02a(1x tanαd)dx=2aε0d(xx2tanα2d)02a Ceq=4a2ε0d=(12a tanα2d)=ε02a2d(1αad)
