EZ (by Dritz I think) makes a couple of affordable triangle rulers with many sizes included. There is the Half square triangle called Easy Angle and the quarter square is called Companion Triangle. Both go up to 6" finished size. I got mine at WalMart.
A 90° angle is what a square is made from (90 x 4 = 360.) Are you needing half-square units or quarter square units? An all purpose 6 1/2" square ruler has a diagonal line that becomes the line on which you line up your strip and then cut a 45° angle.
