Answer

$\theta = 90^{\circ},270^{\circ} $

Work Step by Step

$2 \cos{\theta} - 2 \cos{\theta} \sin{\theta} = 0$ $\cos{\theta} - \cos{\theta} \sin{\theta} = 0$ $\cos{\theta} (1 - \sin{ \theta}) = 0$ $\cos{\theta} = 0 \hspace{30pt} \text{ or } \hspace{30pt} (1-\sin{\theta}) = 0$ $\cos{\theta} = 0 \hspace{30pt} \text{ or } \sin{\theta} = 1$ $\theta = 90^{\circ},270^{\circ} \hspace{30pt} \theta = 90^{\circ}$ $\therefore \theta = 90^{\circ},270^{\circ} $
