See below for whole explanation.

Explanation:

#tan A = sin A/cos A#

Substitute #cos A# with #sqrt(1-sin^2 A)#.

#tan A = sin A/sqrt(1-sin^2 A)#

Square both sides.

#tan^2 A = sin^2 A/(1-sin^2 A)#

Multiply both sides by #1-sin^2 A#.

#tan^2 A - sin^2 A tan^2 A = sin^2 A#

Add #sin^2 A * tan^2 A# to both sides and take #sin^2 A# common factor on the right side.

#tan^2 A = sin^2 A (1 + tan^2 A)#

Divide by 1+tan^2 A on both side, and :

#tan^2 A/(1+tan^2 A) = sin^2 A#

Finally, take the square root of both sides.

#tan A/sqrt(1+tan^2 A) = sin A#
