No, Triangle VNU is not similar to triangle MNL because the corresponding angles are not equal.

Similar triangles are triangles with equal corresponding angles and equal side ratios . This means that the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.

angle VNU = angle MNL ( vertical angles)

angle VNU = 52°

angle V = 180 -( 52 + 68)

angle V = 180 - 120

angle V = 60°

angle L = 180 - ( 52 + 72)

angle L = 180 - 124

angle L = 56°

since angle L is not equal to angle V then the triangles are not similar.
