Hello, joeiesgirl!

Solve for θ,  0θ<2π:     sinθ= sinθcosθ\displaystyle \theta,\;0\,\le\,\theta\,<\,2\pi:\:\;\;\sin\theta\:=\:\ sin\theta\cdot\cos\theta
We have:   sinθsinθcosθ=0\displaystyle \;\sin\theta\,-\,\sin\theta\cdot\cos\theta\:=\:0

Factor: \(\displaystyle \;\sin\theta\cdot(\1\,-\,\cos\theta]\:=\:0\)

Can you finish it now?
