In the isosceles triangle \(PQR\), \(PQ=2\) and the angle \(QPR=\) angle \(PQR=\left( \frac{\pi }{3}+\theta \right)\) radians. The area of triangle PQR is denoted by \(A\).
Given that \(\theta \) is a sufficiently small angle, show that
\(A=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\tan \theta }{1-\sqrt{3}\tan \theta }\approx a+b\theta +c{{\theta }^{2}}\)
for constant \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) to be determined in exact form.
