Missing angles worksheet using the cosine rule

The cosine rule is not just useful for finding missing sides — it can also be rearranged to find missing angles. This is especially helpful in non-right-angled triangles when all three side lengths are known, giving us a reliable method when angle facts or trigonometry for right-angled triangles are not enough.
