(N/A) In $\triangle MNL$ and $\triangle QPR$:
Given $\angle M = \angle Q = 70^{\circ}$.
Also,the ratios of the sides including these angles are:
$\frac{MN}{QP} = \frac{2.5}{5} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{ML}{QR} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$
Since $\frac{MN}{QP} = \frac{ML}{QR} = \frac{1}{2}$ and $\angle M = \angle Q$,by the $SAS$ (Side-Angle-Side) similarity criterion,the two triangles are similar.
Therefore,$\triangle MNL \sim \triangle QPR$.
