  1. Prove the identity \(\left( \frac { 1 } { \sin \theta } - \frac { 1 } { \tan \theta } \right) ^ { 2 } \equiv \frac { 1 - \cos \theta } { 1 + \cos \theta }\).
  2. Hence solve the equation \(\left( \frac { 1 } { \sin \theta } - \frac { 1 } { \tan \theta } \right) ^ { 2 } = \frac { 2 } { 5 }\), for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant \theta \leqslant 360 ^ { \circ }\).
