When I first saw this unit, I also thought it was an equilateral triangle flanked by 30-60-90 degree triangles.

It isn't.

The angles are - approximately - on the skinny triangle: 26.57, 63.43 and 90 degrees

The angles on the bigger triangle are - approximately: the base angles are 63.44, 63.44, and the top angle is 53.12 degrees

The easiest way to draft this is by drawing a square, then putting in the triangle lines and adding seam allowances to the triangles.
