In order to determine if the given traingles are similar, first consider that they have an equal angle of 90 degrees.

Now, verify if there is a constant proportion between the length of the sides of the two trangles, as follow:

WZ/MK = 21/7 = 3

ZY/SK = 12/3 = 4

Then, as you can notice, there is no a proportional relation between the sides of the triangles. Hence, you can conclude:

Are the following triangles similar? NO
