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?

Should the horizontal and vertical edges have the same separation?

Add construction lines connecting rectangle A's top right corner and rectangle B's top right corner, repeat for each corner, constrain the 4 lines to be equal in length.
