(N/A) In $\Delta DEF$,the sum of angles is $180^{\circ}$.
Given $\angle D = 70^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 80^{\circ}$.
Therefore,$\angle F = 180^{\circ} - (70^{\circ} + 80^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ} - 150^{\circ} = 30^{\circ}$.
In $\Delta PQR$,the sum of angles is $180^{\circ}$.
Given $\angle Q = 80^{\circ}$ and $\angle R = 30^{\circ}$.
Therefore,$\angle P = 180^{\circ} - (80^{\circ} + 30^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ} - 110^{\circ} = 70^{\circ}$.
Comparing the two triangles:
$\angle D = \angle P = 70^{\circ}$
$\angle E = \angle Q = 80^{\circ}$
$\angle F = \angle R = 30^{\circ}$
Since all corresponding angles are equal,by the $AAA$ (Angle-Angle-Angle) similarity criterion,the triangles are similar.
Symbolic form: $\Delta DEF \sim \Delta PQR$.
