sin(120)
Since 120 is in the 2nd quadrant, the reference angle is 180 - 120 or 60 degrees.
sin(60) =
Since sin is positive in the 2nd quadrant sin(120) =

cos(300)
Since 300 is in the 4th quadrant, the reference angle is 360-300 = 60 degrees.
cos(60) = 1/2
Since cos is positive in the 4th quadrant, cos(300) = 1/2 and

tan(135)
Since 135 is in the 2nd quadrant, the reference angle is 180 - 135 = 45 degrees.
tan(45) = 1
Since tan is negative in the 2nd quadrant, tan(135) = -1 and

Since I cannot tell if you problem is

or

I'll leave it up to you to substitute in the values for sin(120), and and simplify.
