(NONE) In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$:
Given $\angle A = 80^{\circ}$ and $\angle F = 80^{\circ}$.
Also,the sides including these angles are:
$AB = 2.5$,$AC$ is not given.
$DF = 5$,$EF = 6$.
Checking the ratio of sides:
$\frac{AB}{DF} = \frac{2.5}{5} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
$\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
Since the ratio of two sides is equal and the included angle is not the same (the angle $80^{\circ}$ is at $A$ in $\triangle ABC$ and at $F$ in $\triangle DEF$),the triangles are not similar by the $SAS$ criterion.
Therefore,the given triangles are not similar.
