Attempt use of $\cos \left( {A + B} \right)$ formula to obtain an equation in $\cos \theta $ and $\sin \theta $
Use trig formula to obtain an equation in $\tan \theta $ (or $\cos \theta $, $\sin \theta $ or $\cot \theta $)
Obtain $\tan \theta = 1/\left( {4 + \sqrt 3 } \right)$ or equivalent (or find $\cos \theta $, $\sin \theta $ or $\cot \theta $)
Obtain answer $\theta = {9.9^ \circ }$
Obtain $\theta = {189.9^ \circ }$, and no others in the given interval
[Ignore answers outside the given interval. Treat answers in radians as a misread (0.173, 3.31).]
[The other solution methods are $vi\alpha $ $\cos \theta = \pm \left( {4 + \sqrt 3 } \right)/\sqrt {\left( {1 + {{\left( {4 + \sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}} \right)} $ or
$\sin \theta = \pm 1/\sqrt {\left( {1 + {{\left( {4 + \sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}} \right)} $.]
