I don't have such a ruler. Can someone tell me what angle that ruler is oriented at, and can I simply cut at that angle and be OK? I need to cut 10 left-angled and 10 right-angled rectangles that will have a final size of 2"x3 1/2". Do you think I should just do the math and figure out how to cut them individually?
