First convert all the terms to sin and cos terms and then use identity to replace sin^2a+cos^a with 1. Here are the steps

$LHS=\left [ \frac{1}{sec^{2}(a)-cos^{2}(a)}+\frac{1}{cosec^{2}(a)-sin^{2}(a)} \right ]cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)$

$=\left [ \frac{cos^{2}(a)}{1-cos^{4}(a)}+\frac{sin^{2}(a)}{1-sin^{4}(a)} \right ]cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)$

$=\left [ \frac{cos^{2}(a)}{(1-cos^{2}(a))(1+cos^{2}(a))}+\frac{sin^{2}(a)}{(1-sin^{2}(a))(1+sin^{2}(a))} \right ]cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)$

$=\left [ \frac{cos^{2}(a)}{sin^{2}(a)(1+cos^{2}(a))}+\frac{sin^{2}(a)}{cos^{2}(a)(1+sin^{2}(a))} \right ]cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)$

$=\left [ \frac{cos^{2}(a)cos^{2}(a)(1+sin^{2}(a))+sin^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)(1+cos^{2}(a))}{sin^{2}(a)(1+cos^{2}(a))cos^{2}(a)(1+sin^{2}(a))} \right ]cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)$

$=\frac{cos^{4}(a)(1+sin^{2}(a))+sin^{4}(a)(1+cos^{2}(a))}{(1+cos^{2}(a))(1+sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{cos^{4}(a)+cos^{4}(a)sin^{2}(a)+sin^{4}(a)+sin^{4}(a)cos^{2}(a))}{(1+cos^{2}(a)+sin^{2}(a)+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{cos^{4}(a)+sin^{4}(a)+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)(sin^{2}(a)+cos^{2}(a))} {(1+1+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{cos^{4}(a)+sin^{4}(a)+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)} {(2+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{cos^{4}(a)+sin^{4}(a)+2cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)-cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)} {(2+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{(cos^{2}(a)+sin^{2}(a))^{2}-cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)} {(2+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a))}$

$=\frac{1-cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)} {2+cos^{2}(a)sin^{2}(a)}$

=RHS

Prove that
{1/(sec^2 a-cos^2 a) + 1/(cosec^2 a-sin^ a)}*cos^2 a sin^2 a=(1-cos^2 a sin^2 a)/(2+cos^2 a sin^2 a)

In ABC, if cot A+cot B+cot C = cosecA cosecB cosecC, then prove that ABC is right angle triangle.

Find the general solution of equation tan3∂=cot2∂
For all angles between -720 and +720

To prove : Cosec(45 degree - A)Cosec(45 degree + A) = 2SecA

Derive a formula for the area of the triangle, given b, A, B, and C. That is, derive the formula: (b^2sinAsinC)/(2sinB)
