Answer:

yes

the sides bear a similar proportion to each other

CE = 1.67BC

CD = 1.67AC

Explanation:

Two triangles are similar if the corresponding angels are congruent to each other and if the sides of the triangle are in proportion to each other

to determine if the triangles are similar, determine if the sides are in proportion to each other

CE = 10

BC = 6

10 / 6 = 1.67

DC = 15

AC = 9

15/9 = 1.67

The sides of the triangle are in proportion to each other, thus they are similar
