Answer

$-1$

Work Step by Step

$cos1^\circ+cos2^\circ+cos3^\circ+......+cos358^\circ+cos359^\circ\\ =cos1^\circ+cos2^\circ+cos3^\circ+......+cos(360-2)^\circ+cos(360-1)^\circ\\ =2(cos1^\circ+cos2^\circ+cos3^\circ+......+cos(178)^\circ+cos(179)^\circ)+cos(180)^\circ\\ =2(cos1^\circ+cos2^\circ+cos3^\circ+......+cos(180-2)^\circ+cos(180-1)^\circ)-1\\ =2(cos1^\circ+cos2^\circ+cos3^\circ+......-cos(2)^\circ-cos(1)^\circ)-1\\ =2(cos90^\circ)-1=-1$
