Default How to cut a 9 inch strip?? Just use the mat for a guide?

My next quilts are going to be bed covers for my kiddos twin sized beds. The pattern they each chose needs 9.5 inch squares. (I'm thrilled it's a super easy looking pattern- LOL). But my ruler is 6' x 24". I was going to buy a new ruler, but the largest I seem to see is 8.5 inches wide, unless they're squares...

My sister has a 12 inch square ruler and I asked to borrow it. Would that work or should I just use the cutting mat as a guide? My mat is from Fiskars, the grey one...

Thanks for the help. Hope this doesn't seem like a silly question!!
