Expressions for $\sin(\arctan(x))$ and $\cos(\arctan(x))$ that do not contain trigonometric functions

Consider the following triangle:
Now: $$\tan\theta=\frac x1=x\implies \arctan x=\theta\\\sin\arctan x=\sin\theta=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\\\cos\arctan x=\cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$$

Find expressions for $\sin(\arctan(x))$ and $\cos(\arctan(x))$ that do not contain trigonometric functions.
I have been trying to solve it for days, but I just can't figure it out!
Some help would be so nice!
