yes,
they are similar

here's the reason why,
AD = 10
EH = 25

and

AB =2
EF = 5

just for the sake of verifying this answer
take EF = x
where, x is a number we will get if we find both parallelograms similar


AD/ EH = AB /EF

10/25 = 2/x
10x = 50
x = 5



congratulations, we got x =5 which means EF is also equal to 5.
Hence, proved
