Answer

$90^{\circ},330^{\circ},210^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

$2 \sin{\theta} - 1 = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}$ $2 \sin^2{\theta} - \sin{\theta} - 1 = 0$ Using the quadratic formula: $\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)} = \dfrac{1 \pm 3}{4}$ $\sin{\theta} = 1 \hspace{20pt} \text{ or } \hspace{20pt} \sin{\theta} = -\dfrac{1}{2}$ $\theta = 90^{\circ},330^{\circ},210^{\circ}$
