Question
![### 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 \(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa0e38307-1ade-44bc-b712-aaeda4c58098%2Fbc255bee-8728-4c12-823a-a71cccb4201f%2Fa3hpxop_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
