(i) Express \(3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin(\theta + \alpha)\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0^\circ < \alpha < 90^\circ\), stating the exact value of \(R\) and giving the value of \(\alpha\) correct to 2 decimal places.
(ii) Hence solve the equation \(3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta = 1\), for \(0^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ\).
