Layer cakes and turnovers
Is a turnover the same size as half of a layer cake (cut diagonally)?
Thanks.

No, they are much smaller.
I believe the turnovers are 6" on the 2 equal sides.

Aren't they equilateral triangles and 6" on all three sides?

They are half square. This is equilateral . Equilateral Triangle -- from Wolfram MathWorld

Re: Layer cakes and turnovers
Equilateral is all three sides same length & angle. Aren't all three sides 6 inches which would make all the same length?
Right triangle just means that one angle is 90 degrees. The other two may/or may not be the same degree angle and may/may not have the same size.

No. They are a square cut in half diagonally. Two sides are equal, one side is longer.

Re: Layer cakes and turnovers
I just answered my own question. Layer cakes are 10" squares, so the triangle would be 10" on all sides. Turnovers are 6". I couldn't find size information until I did some searching. There would be quite a bit of waste if I tried to create turnovers from layer cakes. Lots of designs are in layer cakes and charms but not in turnovers.
