3. Given that $$2 \cos ( x + 50 ) ^ { \circ } = \sin ( x + 40 ) ^ { \circ }$$
  1. Show, without using a calculator, that $$\tan x ^ { \circ } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \tan 40 ^ { \circ }$$
  2. Hence solve, for \(0 \leqslant \theta < 360\), $$2 \cos ( 2 \theta + 50 ) ^ { \circ } = \sin ( 2 \theta + 40 ) ^ { \circ }$$ giving your answers to 1 decimal place.
