Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Need to solve $\sin^2 (-90^{\circ}) + \cos^2 (-90^{\circ})$ In order to solve the given expression we can use Trigonometric table of angles. We know that $\sin (-\theta) =- \sin \theta$ and $\cos (-\theta) =\cos \theta$ Therefore, we have: $\sin^2 (-90^{\circ}) + \cos^2 (-90^{\circ})=(-1)^2+(0)^2=1$
