Use the unit circle to find each value,how?

The problem says, sin 90*

There's also one that's cot (-270*) but since that is the opposite of tangent is it 270? I don't know, help is appreciated.

    90º is at the north

    sin90º = 1

    -270º is starting from east, go clockwise direction and stop at north or it is 90º.

    cot(-270º) = cos(-270º)/(sin(-270º)

    = cos90º/sin90º = 0
