Answer 4

That pic is not correct, the edges are aligned with the corners, not in the middle...

Answer 5

so a is the angle between the middle of the wood and the side of the square which is 90/2 = 45. the bottom of that triangle has length 1/2. we need to find b. then you can do "length of square" - b = side of triangle
