If triangle ABC can be taken to triangle A'B'C', it means that they are similar triangles. If tow triangles are similar, it means that the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal. Thus, we have

A'B'/AB = B'C'/BC = A'C'/AC

Thus, looking at the options, the true equations are

A) A'C'/B'A' = AC/BA

D) CA/C'A' = CB/C'B'

E) A'B'/AB = C'B'/CB

If we look at these options the ratios are always the same
