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
