see below

Explanation:

Left Hand Side:

sin t csc( pi/2 -t)=sint *1/(sin(pi/2 - t))sintcsc(π2t)=sint1sin(π2t)

Use the formula sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosAsinBsin(AB)=sinAcosBcosAsinB

=sin t * 1/(sin (pi/2) cos t-cos (pi/2) sin t)=sint1sin(π2)costcos(π2)sint

=sin t* 1/(1*cost-0*sint=sint11cost0sint

=sint * 1/cos t=sint1cost

= sint / cos t=sintcost

=tan t=tant
