If my math is correct (its still eary so it might be wrong) this is IMPOSSIBLE! To make 5 1/2 inch UNFINISHED half square triangle you would of had to START with a at LEAST a block that measured 6 3/8 (6 1/2 if your gonna square it up) Since you started with a 6 inch block you can only square this block up to 5 inches.
