Try this method:
Loose lay another piece of laminate exactly on top of the bit you've already laid but maybe sticking out further at the short end towards the bay. Now loose lay another piece of laminate along the skirting of the bay so that it overlaps the other piece. Draw a line down the side onto the first piece. This will give you your angle. Now measure the length you need down the side and draw a parallel line to cut to. You can make a parallel line either using something like a carpenter's bevel or by measuring the same distance from your drawn line along each side of the laminate piece.
