@thebom bardier, thats wat i i thought of too.. but then i realised the diagonals will not fit the square.. the hypotenuse of a rt. angle triangle is ALWAYS longer than both the sides..

you can also use 4 sticks to make a square w/ the other 2 making a cross inside the square running from corner to corner. makes 4 large & 4 small triangles
