Trig identity

sin B(sec B)^2 =27 cosB (cosecB)^2

How would you go about rearranging this in terms of tanB? What identities do you use?

Divide both sides by cos(B)csc2(B)\cos(B)\csc^2 (B) and you should have tan3(B)\tan^3(B) on the LHS after some very little manipulation.

Try and get that, there are no other identities involved apart from tan(B)\tan(B) in terms of sine and cosine.
