Explanation:

ΔADG - NO (it's an equilateral triangle)

ΔAFH - NO (it's an equilateral triangle)

ΔBCH - NO (it's an equilateral triangle)

ΔBEH - NO (it's an equilateral triangle)

ΔBFG - YES

ΔCDG - YES

ΔEFG - YES

ΔDFG - NO (it's an equilateral triangle)

All equilateral triangles have the sides equal a√2 (a - length of edge).

ΔBFG has sides a, a√2 and a√3.

From Inverse Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + (a√2)² = (a√3)²

a² + 2a² = 3a²

3a² = 3a² CORRECT :)

ΔCDG and ΔEFG have sides a, a and a√2.

From Inverse Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + a² = (a√2)²

2a² = 2a² CORRECT :)
