Answer

$\theta=\{15^o+180^ok\;\;,\;\;75^o+180^ok\}$

Work Step by Step

$sin(2\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$ $2\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ We know $sin(\theta)$ is positive in quardent $I$ and quardent $II$ The period of the tangent function is $360^o$ $2\theta=30^o\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;2\theta=180^o-30^o\;\;\;\; $ $2\theta=30^o+360^oK\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;2\theta=150^o+360^oK\;\;\;\; $ $\theta=15^o+180^oK\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=75^o+180^oK\;\;\;\; $ $\theta=\{15^o+180^ok,75^o+180^ok\},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;when \;\;\;K=\{0,1,2\}$
