To make sure she had made a square corner, she measures 9ft. from the corner along one edge and 3 ft. fro mthe corner along the other edge. How long should the diagonal be between those two points if the corner is a right angle? I want to say 12 ft, but I think that is wrong, please help. </SPAN>\n" );
