Don't know if this is what you need but there is an easy formula (especially if one uses a calculator---on your phone perhaps). If you know the length of the short sides (finished size, not cut size) of the HST multiply by 1.414 to get the length of the diagonal side.
If you know the diagonal length multiply by .707 to find the length of the short sides (i.e. the sides coming off of the right angle).
There's also a chart of fractions to decimals for using to calculate sizes, etc.
1/8" = .125
1/4" = .250
3.8" = .375
1/2" = .50
5/8" = .625
3/4" = .75
7/8" = .875
Hope that helps.
