      From the exam board website: “There is no formulae sheet provided with Mathematics examinations. Students are not expected to memorise complicated formulae but may need to remember simple equations such as the area of a circle or volume of a cube.”
      This seems conflicting as I would class the cosine rule as a complicated formulae but as it states, there will be no formulae sheet given in the exams 👍🏼
