Solution

The product cos 1° cos 2° ... cos 180° equals zero. This is because one of the terms in this sequence is cos 90°.

We know that cos 90° = 0. The multiplication of any series of numbers, no matter how large, by zero will always result in zero. Therefore, the entire product is:

cos×cos××cos90°××cos180°=0

Final Answer: 0
