You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What if instead of showing the steps, you are told two things:

Difference of Squares,
Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity.

Better if you actually try.
Observe the two factors that the product will give the Difference of two Squares. You will then make use of the very basic trigonometry identity, cos%5E2%28x%29%2Bsin%5E2%28x%29=1.
