1. Start with the left side of the equation: (1 - \cos \theta)(1 + \cos \theta)
2. Apply the difference of squares formula:
(1 - \cos \theta)(1 + \cos \theta) = 1 - \cos^2 \theta
3. Use the Pythagorean identity:
1 - \cos^2 \theta = \sin^2 \theta
4. Relate to the right side:
\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1}{\csc^2 \theta}
