Answer:

Use $\cot \theta=\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$ and $\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}$
Simplify to obtain $\cos \theta=k$ where $0<k<1$
Obtain $\cos \theta=\frac{3}{7}$ and hence $\theta=64.6$ and no other solutions in the range
Alternative method for question 1
Use identity $\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \theta=1+\cot ^{2} \theta$
Simplify to obtain $\tan \theta=k_{1}$ or $\sin \theta=k_{2}$ where $0<k_{2}<1$
Obtain $\tan \theta=\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{40}$ or $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{40}$ and hence $\theta=64.6$ and no other solutions in the range
