Yes, because they are both rectangular and have the same angles.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The following figures are similar. Similar means they are the same shape with the same angles. They aren't congruent and only similar because they are different sizes. If you dilate the smaller rectangle, you can make the larger one.
