Solution (1):
We use the substitution method here.
Let a=2000 and b=11.
Thus the expression becomes:


Solution(2):
Draw a right angled triangle and label one of the acute angles x degrees.

Cos(x) refers to adjacent side/hypotenuse

Sin(x) refers to opposite side/hypotenuse

By Pythagoras' theorem, we have

therefore
