$\csc^2{\theta}-\cot^2{\theta} \,=\, 1$
The subtraction of square of cot function from square of co-secant function equals to one is called the Pythagorean identity of cosecant and co-tangent functions.
In trigonometry, the cosecant and cotangent are two functions, which have a direct relationship between them in square form but it is derived from Pythagorean theorem. Hence, the relationship between cosecant and cot functions in square form is called the Pythagorean identity of co-secant and co-tangent functions.
The subtraction of the cot squared of angle from cosecant squared of angle is equal to one and it is called as the Pythagorean identity of cosecant and cotangent functions.
$\csc^2{\theta}-\cot^2{\theta} \,=\, 1$
The Pythagorean identity of cosecant and cot functions is also written popularly in two other forms.
Remember that the angle of a right triangle can be denoted by any symbol but the relation between cosecant and cot functions have to be written in that symbol.
