Here is simple solution: since theta is angle, I am not writing it at the very end. You may assume it.
1 = sin^2 + cost^2,
1/tan^2 = cos^2 / sin^2
1- cos^2 = sin^2
Use these expressions:
sin^2 + cos^2 + (1-cos^2)/tan^2 = 1 + sin^2
Cancel out common parts:
cos^2 - sin^2 * cos^2 / sin^2 = 1
cos^2 - cos^2 = 1
-cos^2 A = sin^2 A
Since there is -ve sign , and SinA and cosA are both squared term, it does not have real solution. It is April Fool problem.
