this is a question based on two triangles similarity. in order to make you understand my question i have written down 2 triangles in a piece of paper.

can we say , in fig 1 (1) and (2) are similar triangle ? important point is , they have the same angles but they are RELATIVE , not in correspondence . so, i hesitate to take a decision whether they are elligible to be called as similar triangles . Does relative position matters ? see , both the triangles have 40, 40 and 100 degree ......but they are not in correspondence.
same thing (3) and (4) for measure in side ...they are gaving same sides but they are in relative not in correspondence ....can we call (3) and (4) as similar triangles ?
Please see , my drawing are not good ....but at least i am trying to make you understand where is my doubt and my question......if you have an answer , please provide that ..
thank you
