Answer

$\theta=1.19+k\pi$ Six example solutions for $k=0,\pm1,\pm2,3$: $-5.09, -1.95, 1.19, 4.33, 7.47, 10.61$

Work Step by Step

Given $tan\theta=2.5$, use a calculator, we can findone $\theta$ values in $[0,\pi],$ as $\theta=1.19$ and the general solutions are $\theta=1.19+k\pi$ where $k$ is any integer. Six example solutions for $k=0,\pm1,\pm2,3$: $-5.09, -1.95, 1.19, 4.33, 7.47, 10.61$
