Given:

(cosec A + cot A)(1 - cos A) 

Formula Used:

cos2A + sin2A = 1

cosec A = \(\frac{1}{sin\ A}\)

cot A = \(\frac{cos\ A }{ sin\ A}\) 

Calculation:

⇒ (cosec A + cot A)(1-cos A) \((\frac{1}{sin A} + \frac{cos A}{sinA})(1-cos A) =\frac{1+cosA}{sinA}(1-cosA)=\frac{1-cos^2A}{sinA}=\frac{sin^2A}{sinA}\) = sin A

⇒ Hence, The value of (cosec A + cot A)(1 - cos A) is sin A
