Looked okay to me on quick look.

It is easy for you to check whether the results are correct! Just see if they work.

It is pretty obvious they are the only solutions. But if there were ever any doubt in a problem like this, you need only do a graph from 0 to 360°.

Check if all your results are solutions.
It would have been easier to substitute cos(2θ) with 2cos2(θ)-1.
