1. **Problem statement:** Given $\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}$ and $\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \pi$, find $\sin 2\theta$ and $\cos 2\theta$ without using a calculator.
2. **Recall formulas:**
- Double angle formulas:
$$\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$$
$$\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta$$
3. **Find $\cos \theta$:**
Since $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$, we have
$$\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{21}{25} = \frac{4}{25}$$
4. **Determine the sign of $\cos \theta$:**
Given $\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \pi$, $\theta$ is in the second quadrant where cosine is negative. So,
$$\cos \theta = -\frac{2}{5}$$
5. **Calculate $\sin 2\theta$:**
$$\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 2 \times \frac{\sqrt{21}}{5} \times \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right) = -\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{25}$$
6. **Calculate $\cos 2\theta$:**
$$\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta = \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{25} - \frac{21}{25} = -\frac{17}{25}$$
**Final answers:**
$$\sin 2\theta = -\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{25}, \quad \cos 2\theta = -\frac{17}{25}$$
