Steps to Find the Value of Cos 90 Degrees | CBSE Maths Exam Notes

There are two methods to find the value of cos 90 degrees are:

– Using Trigonometric Functions – Using Unit Circle

Cos 90° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions:

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the cos 90 degrees as:

Note:

Since 90° lies on the positive y-axis, the final value of cos 90° will be 0.

We can use trigonometric identities to represent cos 90°.

Cos 90 Degrees Using Unit Circle:

Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 90° angle with the positive x-axis.

The cos of 90 degrees equals the x-coordinate(0) of the point of intersection (0, 1) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of cos 90° = x = 0
