Now using the Zero Product Property that means that sin(theta) = cos(theta)/3
and sin(theta) = -2cos(theta).
Now divide both sides of these answers by cos(theta) to get tan(theta) and you have tan(theta)= 1/3 and tan(theta) = -2. Doing the inverses of these gives you your answers...but you have to subtract the second one from 180. These both check.

If you write this equation down it looks like it may be factorable...
(3sin(theta) - cos(theta))*(sin(theta) + 2cos(theta)) = 0.
