Answer

The L.H.S of the equation can be written as,

sin2θcos2θsin2θsin2θsin2θ.cos2θcos2θsin2θ(1 - cos2θ)cos2θtan2θ. sin2θ\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 θ}{\text{cos}^2 θ} - \text{sin}^2 θ \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 θ - \text{sin}^2 θ. \text{cos}^2 θ}{\text{cos}^2 θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 θ(\text{1 - cos}^2 θ)}{\text{cos}^2 θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 θ. \text{ sin}^ 2 θ

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. hence, proved that tan2 θ - sin2 θ = tan2 θ sin2 θ.
