You can put this solution on YOUR website! sin^2 theta = cos theta + 1 ==============
 Do you have a question?
 If you want to solve for theta, you should say that.
 ===================
 sin^2 theta = cos theta + 1
 1 - cos^2t = cos(t) + 1
 cos^2(t) + cos(t) = 0
 cos(t) = 0
 t = pi/2 + n*pi, n = +/- 0,1,2,3,...
 ======================
 cos(t) = -1
 t = pi + n*pi, n = +/- 0,1,2,3,...
