Two triangles are similar if their sides are proportional. We need to make the correspondance depending on the size, both bigger sides, etc.


\begin{gathered} (27)/(8)=3.375 \\ (20)/(5)=4 \\ (8)/(4)=2 \end{gathered}

Since these three quotients are not equal, then the two triangles are not similar.

Note that both triangles share one side.
