Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$3\cos\theta-2\sin\theta\cos\theta=0$ or, $\cos\theta(3-2\sin\theta)=0$ so, either $\cos\theta=0$ or $\sin\theta=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ When $\cos\theta=0$, $\theta=90^{\circ},270^{\circ}$ since $0\leq\,\theta\lt360$ $\sin\theta=1.5$ is not possible since $|\sin\theta|\leq1$ So, final solutions are $\theta=90^{\circ},270^{\circ}$
