Solving L.H.S of equation,

sin2Acos2Asin2Asin2A(1cos2A1)sin2A(1cos2Acos2A)sin2A(sin2Acos2A)sin2Atan2A.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A} - \sin^2 A \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sin^2 A \Big( \dfrac{1}{\cos^2 A} - 1 \Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sin^2 A \Big( \dfrac{1 - \cos^2 A}{\cos^2 A} \Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sin^2 A \Big(\dfrac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A} \Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sin^2 A \tan^2 A.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.,

Hence, proved that tan2 A - sin2 A = sin2 A tan2 A.
