Based on Paper 1 gap analysis. Part of SHLC's May Half Term 2026. £20.\n\nIMAGE PROMPT:\nBeano-style comic illustration, bold flat colours, thick black outlines, no gradients, no shadows, white background. Left panel: a cartoon student looking nervous next to a non-right angled triangle labelled with sides a, b, c and angles A, B, C. A speech bubble shows \"Sine Rule: a\/sinA = b\/sinB\". A small second chalkboard reads \"Cosine Rule: a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA\". Right panel: the student with a compass drawing a sector of a circle, a label reading \"Area = (θ\/360) × πr²\". Bright primary colours, secondary school tone. 900x900.\n--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.mht-wrap { font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif; color: #2c2c2c; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;
