    Default 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

    No, they are right triangles.

    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.

    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.
