On the unit circle sin(90) degrees is at Y = 1 and as that is on the Y axis X will equal = 0.

A right angle is 90 degrees.
pi/4 radians = 45 degrees. 2pi radians = 360 degrees pi radians = 180 degrees pi/2 radians = 90 degrees pi/4 radians = 45 degrees pi/3 radians = 60 degrees. et seq.,
Sine(pi/2) = 1 This is 'Radian' measure of an angle. pi/2 radians = 90 degrees. When you see something like 'Sine(pi/2)' make sure your calculator is in RADIAN mode. ' NOT degree mode.
The Unit Circle is a circle that has a radius of 1 and a center at the origin. If you look at the unit circle 90 degrees is at the point (0,1). Cosine is equal to the x value of a point on the Unit Circle. The line created to the point (0,1) on the unit circle when the degree is 90 is completely vertical, which in turn makes the x value 0 and thus, cosine of 90 = 0.
