Answer

$$ k'(\theta ) =2\theta \sin\theta (\sin\theta+\theta \cos\theta ) .$$

Work Step by Step

Recall the product rule: $(uv)'=u'v+uv'$ Recall that $(x^n)'=nx^{n-1}$ Recall that $(\sin x)'=\cos x$. Since $ k(\theta )= \theta^2 \sin^2 \theta $, then using the product rule, the derivative is giving by $$ k'(\theta )= (\theta^2)' \sin^2 \theta+\theta^2( \sin^2 \theta)'\\ =2\theta \sin^2 \theta+2\theta^2 \sin \theta \cos\theta\\ =2\theta \sin\theta (\sin\theta+\theta \cos\theta ) .$$
