Yes, they are. Rule: AAA (3d angle is also equal, just because it is = what is left from 180 minus two others)

(reflected triangles are also similar triangles)

Hi there!

You can tell the two triangles are similar because all the sides measure the same length. All the triangle did was mirror-flip itself to the right.

If you put them on top of each other (rotating each one little by little) then they would be the same exact shape.

The two triangles are confirmed identical/similar.

Hope this helps!
