We need to prove-
\frac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\frac{\sin ^{2}A}{1-\cos A}

taking LHS;

\\\Rightarrow \frac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}\\ \Rightarrow (1+\frac{1}{\cos A})/\sec A\\ \Rightarrow 1+\cos A

Taking RHS;
We know that identity 1-\cos^2\theta = \sin^2\theta

\\\Rightarrow \frac{\sin ^{2}A}{1-\cos A}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{1-\cos^2 A}{1-\cos A}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{(1-\cos A)(1+\cos A)}{(1-\cos A)}\\ \Rightarrow 1+\cos A

LHS = RHS 

Hence proved.
