Answer:

Yes, the yellow triangles are similar.

Explanation:

Angle-Angle similarity states that if any two angles of a triangle are equal to any two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar to each other.

If angle x is 71° then both yellow triangles have two angles of equal measure (28° and 71°), which means they are similar triangles.
