Let's cut to the chase: I know this subject & how to teach YOU

J H.

I tried it and got 4 solutions on the interval...
0.6155
5.6677
2.5261
3.7571
 
Are these correct?

2.5261 radians = 2.5261(180/pi) degrees = 144.738 degrees
I multiplied this by two and took the cosine of that, and got 0.33331 which is pretty close to 1/3, so YES, your answer looks good.
 
You can check your others in a similar way.
