Answer

The values of \(\theta\) are \(\boxed{136}\) and \(\boxed{316}\) to the nearest degree.

Steps

Step 1 :The sine function has a negative value in the third and fourth quadrants.

Step 2 :We can find the reference angle in the first quadrant and then find the corresponding angles in the third and fourth quadrants.

Step 3 :The reference angle can be found by taking the inverse sine (also known as arcsine) of the absolute value of the given sine value.

Step 4 :We then subtract this reference angle from 180 to find the angle in the third quadrant and subtract it from 360 to find the angle in the fourth quadrant.

Step 5 :The values of \(\theta\) are \(\boxed{136}\) and \(\boxed{316}\) to the nearest degree.
