\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Explanation:

Use the following trigonometric identity to rewrite the given angle \ \ \ \sin (x)=\cos (90^{\circ }-x)\ \ \ as:

\sin (120^{\circ })=\cos (90^{\circ }-120^{\circ })

=\cos (-30^{\circ })

Keep remember that, \ \ cos\ \ is an even function such that \ \ \cos (-x)=\cos (x)\ \

\cos (-30^{\circ })=\cos (30^{\circ })

=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

That's it!
