According to the trigonometric identities, we have that:


\begin{gathered} \sin x=(1)/(cscx) \\ \tan x=(1)/(cotx) \end{gathered}

Substitute the expressions:


(\sin x)/(\tan^2x)=((1)/(cscx))/(((1)/(cotx))2)

Simplify:


=((1)/(cscx))/((1)/(cot^2x))

Cross Multiplication:


=(1* cot^2x)/(1* cscx)=(cot^2x)/(cscx)
