Using the Pythagorean trigonometric identity and the double-angle formula,The required value $1/2$ therefore occurs when ${\sin }^2(2\theta )=1$. Within $0\le \theta \le \pi$, the only possibilities are $2\theta =\pi /2$ and $3\pi /2$. HenceEquivalently equality requires ${\sin }^2\theta ={\cos }^2\theta =1/2$.
