Answer

Showed that given statement, $ 1 $ - $ \frac{\sin\theta}{\csc\theta}$ = $\cos^{2}\theta$, is an identity as left side transforms into right side.

Work Step by Step

Given statement is- $ 1 $ - $ \frac{\sin\theta}{\csc\theta}$ = $\cos^{2}\theta$ Left Side = $ 1 $ - $ \frac{\sin\theta}{\csc\theta}$ = $ 1 - \frac{\sin\theta}{1/\sin\theta}$ = $ 1$ - $ \sin\theta \times \frac{\sin\theta}{1}$ = $1$ - $\sin^{2}\theta$ = $\cos^{2}\theta$ [ From first Pythagorean identity] = Right Side i.e. Left Side transforms into Right Side i.e. Given statement, $ 1 $ - $ \frac{\sin\theta}{\csc\theta}$ = $\cos^{2}\theta$, is an identity.
