Default Stack and whack/hexagon quilt question

Good morning everyone (or afternoon, or evening, whatever fits your geography!).
I have what I would call a mini panel - it's about 22 inches square. I want to do the hexagon style stack and whack. The traditional pattern has you cut triangles from a strip 3 3/4" tall resulting in a hexagon block of 6 inches. I want to make a smaller block as my panel is small and I wouldn't get as many hexies - my dilemma is I don't know what size strip equates to what size finished block...
Is anyone able to help?
I know I could resort to cutting scraps of fabric and sewing to test sizing but if someone has already invented "the wheel" I don't need to ....
I'll listen to any advice!
