A 1400 years old approximation to the sine function by Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I

The approximation $$\sin(x) \simeq \frac{16 (\pi -x) x}{5 \pi ^2-4 (\pi -x) x}\qquad (0\leq x\leq\pi)$$ was proposed by Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I, a seventh-century Indian mathematician. I wondered how much this could be improved using our computers and so I tried (very immodestly) to see if we could do better using $$\sin(x) \simeq \frac{a (\pi -x) x}{5 \pi ^2-b (\pi -x) x}$$ I so computed $$\Phi(a,b)=\int_0^{\pi} \left(\sin (x)-\frac{a (\pi -x) x}{5 \pi ^2-b (\pi -x)x}\right)^2 dx$$ the analytical expression of which not being added to the post. Settings the derivatives equal to $0$ and solving for $a$ and $b$, I arrived to $a=15.9815,b=4.03344$ so close to the original approximation! What is interesting is to compare the values of $\Phi$: $2.98 \times 10^{-6}$ only decreased to $2.17 \times 10^{-6}$. Then, no improvement and loss of attractive coefficients. Now, since this is a matter of etiquette on this site, I ask a simple question: with all the tools and machines we have in our hands, could any of our community propose something as simple (or almost) for basic trigonometric functions? In the discussions, I mentioned one I made (it is probable that I reinvented the wheel) in the same spirit $$\cos(x) \simeq\frac{\pi ^2-4x^2}{\pi ^2+x^2}\qquad (-\frac \pi 2 \leq x\leq\frac \pi 2)$$ which is amazing too!
