### Using Trigonometric Identities to Simplify Equations

#### Problem Statement

Use trigonometric identities to transform the left side of the equation into the right side \(\left(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\).

#### Given Equation

\[
\cot(\theta) \sin(\theta) = \left( \boxed{} \right) \sin(\theta)
\]

The goal is to simplify the left side to be equal to \(\cos(\theta)\).

#### Step-by-Step Solution

1. **Express \(\cot(\theta)\) in terms of sine and cosine:**

\[
\cot(\theta) = \frac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}
\]

2. **Substitute \(\cot(\theta)\) in the given equation:**

\[
\frac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} \sin(\theta)
\]

3. **Simplify the equation:**

\[
\cos(\theta)
\]

Thus, the transformation shows:

\[
\cot(\theta) \sin(\theta) = \cos(\theta)
\]

This verifies the equality under the condition \(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\).
