@waterineyes this is what I wrote, but I'm know sure
I first used the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle to get 12^2+5^2=c^2 which is 144+25=c^2 which is 169=c^2 which would be 13.  Then, sin x° = 5/13 and cos y° =5/13 . So that is the relationship the ratios share. They are both the same because its a right triangle.

I would add in the sine=opp/hyp and cosine=adj/hyp stuff.  Then, what they are sharing is the side measurements because the side opposite x is adjacent to y and both use the same hypotenuse.
