Yes, all right Isosceles triangles are similar. A Right Isosceles triangle is a triangle with two(2) sides of equal length and has one of its angles as 90°.

The angles in a right isosceles triangle are 45°,45°and 90°

Hence, the ratios of sides facing corresponding angles in different triangles are similar

Answer: Yes, all right isosceles triangles are similar
