They are congruent.

Explanation:

Similar figures have their corresponding angles equal and the corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Similar figures have the same shape, but can be of different sizes.

If the scale factor is one, it means that corresponding sides are equal in length.

In this case the shapes would be congruent (ie identical) rather than similar.

They have the same shape, the same angles and the same size.
