The Triangles Are Similar Because The Smaller Triangle Is A Scaled Down Version Of The Larger Triangle.

Yes, the two triangles are similar based on the AA Similarity theorem.

Here's how we can tell:

Angle-Angle Similarity (AA Similarity): We can see that two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Specifically, both triangles have a 60° angle at the top and a 67° angle at the bottom. Since two pairs of corresponding angles are equal, the triangles are similar by the AA Similarity theorem.
