Hello student,
Please find my response to your question below
I think there is some mistake in your question.Whether it is tanA=msinB or SinA=msinB please make it sure.Please recheck the question and post it correctly so that i can provide you with a meaningful answer.

I am sorry

If tanA=n tanB, sinA=msinB then prove that cos^2A=(m^2-1)/(n^2-1)

Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
tan A = n tan B
sin A=m sinB
sin B = sin A / m --------------- (1)
tan A=sinA/cosA
cos A = sin A / tan A = m sin B / n tan B = m cos B / n
cos B = n cos A / m -------------- (2)
squaring and adding (1) and (2)
[sin^2 B + cos^2 B] = sin^2 A / m^2 + n^2 cos^2 A / m^2
1 = [1 - cos^2 A]/m^2 + n^2 cos^2 A / m^2
m^2 = 1 - cos^2 A + n^2 cos^2 A
cos^2 A [n^2 - 1] = [m^2 -1]
cos^2 A = [m^2 -1] / [n^2 - 1]
