I'm stuck can't seem to work this on out. I'm not seeing the relationship between the two

I tried again and ended up with 1/sin2@=1/-sin2@

On the right side, $(sin(\theta)- cos(\theta))^2= sin^2(\theta)- 2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)+ cos^2(\theta)$
$= 1- 2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)$
so $1- (sin(\theta)- cos(\theta))^2= 2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)$

Do you recognize that as $sin(2\theta)$?
