Is the similarity ratio between the three triangles equal to one?
To answer the question, we first need to understand what "similarity ratio" means.
In similar triangles, the ratio between the sides is constant.
In the statement, we do not have data on any of the sides.
However, a similarity ratio of 1 means that the sides are exactly the same size.
That is, the triangles are not only similar but also congruent.
In the drawing, you can clearly see that the triangles are of different sizes and, therefore, clearly the similarity ratio between them is not 1.

First, let's look at angles C and E, which are equal to 30 degrees.
Angle C is opposite side AB and angle E is opposite side BD.
Now let's look at angle B, which is equal to 90 degrees in both triangles.
In triangle ABC the opposite side is AC and in triangle EBD the opposite side is ED.
Let's look at angles A and D, which are equal to 60 degrees.
Angle A is the opposite side of CB, angle D is the opposite side of EB

Now, let's start looking for GC.
First, remember that the deltoid has two pairs of equal adjacent sides, therefore:
Now we can also do Pythagoras in the triangle GCE.
Now we can calculate the side BC:
Now, let's observe the triangle BGE and DHC
Angle BGE = 90°
Angle CHD = 90°
Angle CDH=EBG because these are opposite parallel angles.
