Identify angle on unit circle: Identify the angle on the unit circle.Since cos(θ) represents the x-coordinate of a point on the unit circle for an angle θ, we need to find the x-coordinate for 90∘.
Locate point on circle: Locate the point on the unit circle corresponding to 90°.At 90°, the point on the unit circle is (0,1).
Determine value of cos90°: Determine the value of cos90°.Since the x-coordinate of the point (0,1) is 0, cos90°=0.
