.

The solutions are theta = 0 degrees or theta = 180 degrees. There are NO other solutions in the interval 0 <= theta < 360 degs.

Tutor ikleyn's answers are usually reliable; but she missed something here. Since she didn't show any work in her response to your question, I don't know how she arrived at her incorrect answer.

or

gives and , as shown in ikleyn's response.

gives the two additional solutions and

Graphing the two expressions with a graphing calculator confirms the four solutions.
