Answer:

No, they are not similar.

Explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent, and their corresponding sides are proportional. While angle a in triangle abc is congruent to angle d in triangle def, angle b in triangle abc does not have a corresponding congruent angle in triangle def. Therefore, the corresponding angles are not congruent, and the triangles cannot be similar.
