Answer:

NO

Explanation:

The above image shows two triangles. if we look at the top triangle, we notice it's two sides are equal (16 and 16). We therefore have an isosceles right triangle.

looking the second triangle, we notice that one side is 39, the other 40. Since these are the two sides joined at the point of intersection for the two images, and since 39 does not equal 40, the second triangle cannot be an isosceles right triangle. We conclude that the two triangles are not similar.
