One cannot evaluate #cos^-1(sin^-1 90)#, because #90# is outside the domain for the inverse sine function:

#theta = sin^-1(x); -1 <= x <= 1#

Also, please observe that the inverse sine function returns an angle with the units of either degrees or radians; this is incompatible with the argument of the inverse cosine function, which requires a unitless quantity.
