\[\begin{align} \text{Expression} &= \cos{(1^{\circ})} \times \cos{(2^{\circ})} \ldots {\red{\cos{(90^{\circ})}}} \ldots \cos{(179^{\circ})} \times \cos{(180^{\circ})} \\ &= \cos{(1^{\circ})} \times \cos{(2^{\circ})} \ldots {\red{0}} \ldots \cos{(179^{\circ})} \times \cos{(180^{\circ})} \\ &= \boxed{0}

\end{align}\]

Since cos 90 = 0 \cos 90 = 0 :

0 × x = 0 0 \times x = 0 , no matter what x x is.

Answer: 0 \fbox 0

You may use \times in latex for × \times symbol
