See Below

#RHS: +-tan theta/(sqrt(1+tan^2theta))#

#=+-tan theta/sqrt(sec^2theta)#

#=tan theta/sec theta#->since we are squaring #sectheta# the result is always positive so we drop the negative sign.

#=(sin theta/cos theta)/(1/costheta)#

#=sin theta/cancelcos theta * cancelcos theta/1#

#=sin theta#

#=LHS#
