contents The notion of $θ$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $θ$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $θ$ whose cosine is rational. Das and Saikia [2] established criteria for numbers to be $θ$-congruent over certain real number fields and concluded their work by posing four open questions regarding the relationship between $θ$-congruent and properly $θ$-congruent numbers. In this work, we provide complete answers to those questions. Indeed, we remove a technical assumption from their result on fields with degrees coprime to $6$, provide a definitive answer for real cubic fields without congruence restrictions, extend the analysis to fields of degree~$6$, and examine the exceptional cases $n=1, 2, 3$ and $6$.
