Best Answer

Use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate the hypotenuse of the square (or indeed any rectangle) you want to mark out. Then measure the sides from one corner and make sure the hypotenuse length is as calculated. You can mark the end points of the various sides with an arc and where they meet is where the square is.
