The trigonometric equation is 8sinθ - 4cscθ = 0

The reciprocal identity of cscθ is sinθ.

8sinθ - 4(1/sinθ) = 0

(8sin2θ - 4)/sinθ = 0

8sin2θ - 4 = 0(sinθ)

8sin2θ - 4 = 0

8sin2θ =  4

sin2θ =  4/8

sin2θ = 1/2

sin2θ = [1/√2]2

sin2θ = [sin(π/4)]2

sin2θ = sin2(π/4)

The genaral solution of sin2(θ) = sin2(α) is θ = nπ ± α, where n is an integer. 

Solutions are θ = nπ ± π/4.
