$\cos^{2} (180 °) - \sin^{2} (180 °)$

Step 1

Apply the cosine double-angle identity.

$\cos (2 \cdot 180 °)$

Step 2

Multiply $2$ by $180 °$ .

$\cos (360)$

Step 3

Remove full rotations of $360$ ° until the angle is between $0$ ° and $360$ °.

$\cos (0)$

Step 4

The exact value of $\cos (0)$ is $1$ .
