Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles have angles with the same measures.

angles in the first triangle are 50°, 60°, 70°.

angles in the second triangle are 50°, 50°, 80°.

The angles do not have the same values, so the triangles cannot be similar.

<em>Comment on the question</em>

When 2 of the three angles are different, the third angle cannot make the triangles similar. We don't even need to compute the third angle to answer this question.
