Hi student, I have solved the question as you have posted. But I feel the '3' should be square root of 3.

Kindly check. If not, then below is the solution. If yes, then follow the same process, and towards, the end you will get

begin mathsize 12px style straight theta equals cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent open parentheses fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses space and space hence space straight theta equals straight pi over 6 end style
