Default What's the math?

I need a couple of 1/4 square triangles for fillers. I changed a pattern to standard sizes as I wanted to try out a couple of Sizzix dies. The squares in the pattern were something like 2 5/8 to cut or another weird size.

I changed to 2 1/2 - Slow going to fix the changes but working. I know you need to add so much to a square to cut triangles. What do you need to add if you want quarter triangles? I cut the triangles on a Sizzix so I'd have to have the formula for quarter triangles for a 2 1/2 cut or 2 inch finished block. Cutting the half triangle is a little short.

Next time I'll shove the design in Electric Quilt and let IT do the math!

I'm just a trifle annoyed with odd sizes designed to get you to buy new rulers.
