First, multiply both sides by \(2 + \cos \theta\) to eliminate the fraction:
\(13 \sin^2 \theta + \cos \theta (2 + \cos \theta) = 2(2 + \cos \theta)\)
Simplify the equation:
\(13 \sin^2 \theta + 2 \cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 4 + 2 \cos \theta\)
Rearrange terms:
\(13 \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 4\)
Use the identity \(\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta\):
\(13(1 - \cos^2 \theta) + \cos^2 \theta = 4\)
Simplify:
\(13 - 13 \cos^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 4\)
\(13 - 12 \cos^2 \theta = 4\)
\(12 \cos^2 \theta = 9\)
\(\cos^2 \theta = \frac{3}{4}\)
\(\cos \theta = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
Thus, \(\theta = 30^\circ, 150^\circ\).
