Embark Size

I'm certain someone knows this.  On the embark screen, how large is a square?  A 3x3 embark is what HxW in-world?

48x48, I'll upload my csv for quick fort that outlines an embark square if you're interested.

That's alright, just wanted the numbers.  I'm considering this "Build a cube" challenge that's been layed out, and wanted to know how much room I had to work with.  I'm considering a 2x3 embark size, for 2x2 cube and 1x2 for cheat workshops and off-site mechanisms.

I'll need a margin of error to allow entrance/exit to the cube as well.  I may use that extra 1x2 for the "fort" area, and force invaders to path through it.
