See the proof below

Explanation:

The left hand side is

LHS=(cos11+sin11)/(cos11-sin11)

Divide numerator and denominator by cos11

LHS=(cos11/cos11+sin11/cos11)/(cos11/cos11-sin11/cos11)

=(1+tan11)/(1-tan11)

Since tan45=1

Therefore,

LHS=(tan45+tan11)/(1-tan45tan11)

We know that

tan(a+b)=(tana+tanb)/(1-tanatanb)

So,
(tan45+tan11)/(1-tan45tan11)=tan56

=RHS
