Answer:

yes

Explanation:

You want to know if triangles GYK and BAK are similar.

SAS similarity

The angle K between sides GK and YK is congruent to the angle K between sides BK and AK.

The ratio of sides GK:YK is 10/25 = 2/5, and the ratio of sides BK:AK is 6/15 = 2/5.

The corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding angles between them are congruent, so the triangles GYK and BAK are similar according to the SAS postulate.
