Similar Triangles (moved)

BCGH=812=23\displaystyle \frac{BC}{GH}=\frac{8}{12} =\frac{2}{3}
ACFH=1015=23\displaystyle \frac{AC}{FH}=\frac{10}{15} =\frac{2}{3}
But:
ABFG=1\displaystyle \frac{AB}{FG} = 1 since AB = FG (shown on the diagram)

For the triangles to be similar, the proportions of all 3 pairs of sides has to be the same.
Here they aren't, so the triangles are not similar.

Okay I understand that. AB: FG do not have the same ratio. Thank you!
