I have to prove that: $$\tan^2\theta \sin^2\theta = \tan^2\theta - \sin^2 \theta$$ Here is what I have tried $$\tan^2\theta \sin^2\theta$$ $$=\left(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}\right)\left(\sin^2\theta\right)$$ $$=\frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$$ Not much of an attempt, but now I am stuck. What should I do next? Thanks in advance for your answers ;)

$$\tan^2\theta \sin^2\theta$$ $$=\left(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}\right)\left(\sin^2\theta\right)$$ $$=\frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$$ $$=\frac{\sin^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$$ $$=\frac{\sin^2\theta(1-\cos^2\theta)}{\cos^2\theta}$$ $$=\frac{\sin^2\theta-\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$$ $$=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}-\frac{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$$ $$=\tan^2\theta-\sin^2\theta$$ $$\displaystyle \boxed{\therefore \tan^2\theta \sin^2\theta=\tan^2\theta - \sin^2\theta}$$
