  1. Prove the identity \(\frac { \sin \theta } { 1 - \cos \theta } - \frac { 1 } { \sin \theta } \equiv \frac { 1 } { \tan \theta }\).
  2. Hence solve the equation \(\frac { \sin \theta } { 1 - \cos \theta } - \frac { 1 } { \sin \theta } = 4 \tan \theta\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 180 ^ { \circ }\).
