~~\text{L.H.S}\\\\=(\sin x)/(1-\cos x)\\\\\\=(\sin x(1+ \cos x))/((1 -\cos x)(1+ \cos x))\\\\\\=(\sin x + \sin x \cos x)/(1- \cos^2 x)\\\\\\=(\sin x+ \sin x \cos x)/(\sin^2 x)\\\\\\=(\sin x)/( \sin^2 x)+ (\sin x \cos x)/( \sin^2 x)\\\\\\=(1)/( \sin x) + (\cos x)/( \sin x)\\\\\\=\csc x + \cot x\\\\\\=\text{R.H.S}\\\\\text{Proved.}
