Check the picture below.


\textit{Law of Cosines}\\\\ \cfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}=\cos(C)\implies \cos^(-1)\left(\cfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)=\measuredangle C \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cos^(-1)\left(\cfrac{21^2+32^2-26^2}{2(21)(32)}\right)=\measuredangle J \implies \cos^(-1)\left(\cfrac{ 789 }{ 1344}\right)=\measuredangle J\implies \boxed{54.1^o\approx \measuredangle J}

Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
