Showstopper, ever heard of the 3-4-5 rule?

Measure one way 3 feet (or yards or whatever) and make a mark, then measure in the direction 90 degrees to that 4 feet (or whatever) and make another mark. Then measure between the marks you just made. If it is exactly 5 feet (or whatever) then the lines are exactly 90 degrees apart.


The other thing to do on a rectangular area is to measure across the diagonals. If it is perfectly square (or rectangular) then the measurements will be equal.



Next post, try proofreading what you type and using the punctuation. It'll make it easier for us to fully understand what you meant. :D
