The first, second and third terms of a geometric progression are \(\sin \theta\), \(\cos \theta\) and \(2 - \sin \theta\) respectively, where \(\theta\) radians is an acute angle.
(a) Find the value of \(\theta\).
(b) Using this value of \(\theta\), find the sum of the first 10 terms of the progression. Give the answer in the form \(\frac{b}{\sqrt{c} - 1}\), where \(b\) and \(c\) are integers to be found.
