Diego's statement that the figures are similar with a scale factor of 1 is accurate. Diego is correct.

Congruent figures are identical in shape and size.

Similar figures, on the other hand, have the same shape but may differ in size.

If the scale factor between two figures is 1, it means that the corresponding sides of the figures are in proportion, and the figures are similar.

Therefore, Diego's statement that the figures are similar with a scale factor of 1 is accurate.
