  1. By expressing \(3 \theta\) as \(2 \theta + \theta\), prove the identity \(\cos 3 \theta \equiv 4 \cos ^ { 3 } \theta - 3 \cos \theta\).
  2. Hence solve the equation $$\cos 3 \theta + \cos \theta \cos 2 \theta = \cos ^ { 2 } \theta$$ for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant \theta \leqslant 180 ^ { \circ }\).
