(A) In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$:
$\angle A = 60^{\circ}, \angle B = 80^{\circ}, \angle C = 40^{\circ}$
$\angle P = 60^{\circ}, \angle Q = 80^{\circ}, \angle R = 40^{\circ}$
Since $\angle A = \angle P = 60^{\circ}$,$\angle B = \angle Q = 80^{\circ}$,and $\angle C = \angle R = 40^{\circ}$,the corresponding angles are equal.
Therefore,by the $AAA$ (Angle-Angle-Angle) similarity criterion,$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$.
