Answer:

No, they are not similar

Explanation:

The three triangle angles should always add up to 180 degrees.

In the smaller triangle, one angle is 90 degrees, so the other 2 angles in that triangle will equal 90 when added.

In the bigger triangle, the 2 other angles are 60 & 70 degrees, amounting to 130 degrees. This means the last angle will be 50 degrees.

In the end, these two triangle are NOT similar because one has a right angle and the other doesn't.
