You could use sine and cosine laws in a right angled triangle. Keep in mind that the hypothenuse is the same in both laws.

can you please tell me which asnwer choice is correct

I could, but i won't. You'll have to figure it out yourself. Otherwise you won't have learned anything.

#

For the second part, keep in mind that two parallel lines are crossed by a third one. You probably have seen what this means for the angles.

Some things to note: given what we are told about the triangle (that sin(y) = cos(x)) we can make the observation that these triangles are similar

#

We can re-draw the smaller triangle to see that sin(y) and cos(x) represent the same sides relative of the pair, and since they are equal than they must be similar

#

This is the key to the first half of the question. The second half is understanding notation
