Is it possible to constrain a rectangle to be concentric with another rectangle? (lemmy.world)

I have the following:

I want the center rectangle to be concentric with the outer rectangle (the separation of each edge should be equal). What's the best way to do this?

I’d do either 45 degree lines of equal length on 2 corners with the same length, or 2 boxes with equal lengths.

It depends on what method would be easiest for you to implement and what your using to determine the distance between the rectangles.
