11.
  1. Given that $$2 \cos ( x + 30 ) ^ { \circ } = \sin ( x - 30 ) ^ { \circ }$$ without using a calculator, show that $$\tan x ^ { \circ } = 3 \sqrt { 3 } - 4$$ (4)
  2. Hence or otherwise solve, for \(0 \leqslant \theta < 180\), $$2 \cos ( 2 \theta + 40 ) ^ { \circ } = \sin ( 2 \theta - 20 ) ^ { \circ }$$ Give your answers to one decimal place.
