Cut the extra inch off the long side to get a 4" square, then cut the remaining 1" x 4" piece into 4 1" squares. The boy never said the squares had to be the same size.

If the triangles have already been cut, it's a peanut butter sandwich: use peanut butter on the edges to glue it back together and cut the squares. The child gave you a challenge, think outside the box!

i'd cut squares out of the triangles.

Once the kid realizes he's getting less because of his demands, he might change his mind about shape being important.

Edit: or make him do it. toss in a lesson about geometry, too.

If the triangles have already been cut, the kid gets a brand new sandwich fully intact, crust and all, and a knife. Let's see you cut this sandwich better than I can brayxtyn

If that's the child's name, you have no one to blame but yourself, and are probably underqualified for handling a butter knife.
