I'm trying to understand how the formula for the phase angle is determined.

Thanks for any help.

Take a look at the relevant page in Wolfram Mathworld, titled 'Complex Argument' at:

The 'argument' is what you've called the 'phase angle' and it is shown how the argument of the product of several complex numbers is found by adding the arguments of the individual complex numbers. Consequently, for your case, the argument of one complex number divided by another can be found by subtracting the argument of the divisor from that of the numerator.

Does this help? Is your working, on the page to which you linked, correct?
