1) 3*cot^2(theta) = 1
cot^2(theta) = 1/3
cot(theta) = square root(1/3) = 0.577350269
note that cot(theta) = 1/tan(theta)
1/tan(theta) = 0.577350269/1
tan(theta) = 1/0.577350269 = 1.732050808
note take inverse of tan to get theta
theta = 60.000000006 degrees
2) 3 - 4cos^2(theta) = 0
4cos^2 theta = 3
cos^2(theta) = 3/4
cos(theta) = square root(3/4) = 0.866025404
note take inverse of the cos to get theta
theta = 29.999999975 degrees
