1 = sin 2 α + cos 2 α = sin 2 β + cos 2 β
Then by moving cosine's to other sides, we have
sin 2 α cos 2 β = sin 2 β cos 2 α

Simply think to use the identity sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1. Using that for x=a and x=b you get:
sin 2 α + cos 2 α = 1
sin 2 β + cos 2 β = 1
Equating LHS, because RHS=1, you get:
sin 2 α + cos 2 α = sin 2 β + cos 2 β
Now, rearrange and prove the final identity:
sin 2 α cos 2 β = sin 2 β cos 2 α
