The cosine rule rearranged to find any angle from three sides, a negative cosine signalling an obtuse angle.
Author note — to cover (Higher)
Higher only: the cosine rule rearranged to find any angle from three sides, a negative cosine correctly yielding an obtuse angle, with the largest-angle-faces-longest-side check. G22 requires knowing and applying the rule; no right angle may be assumed anywhere in the triangle. (G22)
