#theta={pi/2,3.39,6.03}#

#4sin^2theta-3sintheta=1#

#hArr4sin^2theta-3sintheta-1=0#

or #4sin^2theta-4sintheta+sintheta-1=0#

or #4sintheta(sintheta-1)+1(sintheta-1)=0#

or #(4sintheta+1)(sintheta-1)=0#

therefore either #4sintheta+1=0# i.e. #sintheta=-1/4# and #theta=345.52^@=6.03# or #194.48^@=3.39#

or #sintheta=1# i.e. #theta=pi/2#

Hence #theta={pi/2,3.39,6.03}#
