Detailed Solution

We have to prove whether LHS is equal to RHS or not.
𝐿𝐻𝑆 =1-cosA1+cosA


Multiplying LHS by 1-cosA1-cosA
 

⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 1-cosA1+cosA × 1-cosA1-cosA
 

⇒ 𝐿𝐻S = (1-cosA)21+cosA×1-cosA
⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 1-cosA1-cos2A
As 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝐴 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝐴 = 1
⇒ 1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝐴 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝐴
Putting this in LHS, we get
⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 1-cosAsinA

⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 =    1sinA-cosAsinA
⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝐴 − 𝑐𝑜𝑡 𝐴
⇒ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 𝑅𝐻𝑆
Hence, proved.
