As some of you may have read in my other post, I am planning to buy a princess cut, a square. Dimensions is always given so all we need is the formula to get the length inside.... I do remember, however, that a square can be made into two triangles. so we can use a formula for a triangle also...so this means we would be looking for the base length of the triangle...for example... dimensions given: 6.05(lenth) x 5.95(width) x 3.95...etc... Correct me if I'm wrong but princess cut with the same carat and length/width of a round cut, the princess cut may look larger because of the corners...right? Just something I noticed after looking at diamonds...thanks for the help! ----------------- UPDATE ----------------- I FOUND THE FORMULA! Pythagorean Theorem : a² + b² = c² 'C' being the longest length of the triangle. 'A' and 'B' can be the length or the width of a square given dimension. I found it here: http://mathforum.org/~sarah/hamilton/ham.rttriangles.html and here is an online calculator for this formula: http://www.117i.com/math_triangle.cfm hahahah this is a funny topic...enjoy
