Option A:
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(C A)

Option C:
\angle R\cong \angle C

Solution:

Given ΔRST similar to ΔABC.

To determine which statements are true for the given similarity triangles.

Option A:
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(C A)

By the similarity theorem,

If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion.

Therefore,
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(C A)

It is true.

Option B:
\angle S\cong \angle A

By the similarity theorem, corresponding angles are equal.

∠S is corresponding to ∠B.

So,
\angle S\cong \angle B.

That means ∠S is not corresponding to ∠A.

Therefore, it is false.

Option C:
\angle R\cong \angle C

By the similarity theorem, corresponding angles are equal.

∠R is corresponding to ∠C.

Therefore
\angle R\cong \angle C.

It is true.

Option D:
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(AB)

We already, proved in option A that
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(C A).

Therefore,
(S R)/(B C)\\eq (R T)/(AB).

It is false.

Option A and Option C are true.

Hence
(S R)/(B C)=(R T)/(C A) and
\angle R\cong \angle C.
