Theta/sin(Theta) = (1001*180)/(1000*PI) to be solved for theta.

Weve done it by iteration, but would prefer the exact solution. Does anyone here have a clue how to get it?



It has me stumped. I would've been able to do this 6 months ago but now I'm completely clueless. How did you do it by iteration out of interest? It might be that that is what they are looking for.
