Let $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$. Let $A \in M_2(\mathbb{R})$ be an antisymmetric matrix. We set $A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -\alpha \\ \alpha & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$.
Determine a real number $\theta_n$ such that $$\frac{1}{\beta_n}\left(I_2 + \frac{1}{n}A\right) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos\theta_n & -\sin\theta_n \\ \sin\theta_n & \cos\theta_n \end{pmatrix}$$
