Square in a Square Calculator

This calculator calculates all the key dimensions of a square in a square block given either the finished inside square length or the finished outside square length as a starting point. For example, suppose the length of the inside finished square is 5 inches. The calculator will determine that the outside finished square is 7 1/8 inches. It will also tell you that you will need to cut a square (the corner side square) with a side whose length is 4 3/8 inches. You will then cut that square along the diagonal to create 2 triangles that are pieced with the inside square. You will need to cut 2 such squares to create a total of 4 triangles so as to complete the outer square. Please note that this calculator assumes a 1/4 inch seam allowance and all calculated measurements are to the nearest 1/8 inch.
