Answer:

15 inches

Explanation:

James needs to use the Pythagoras theorem, which states that in a right-angle triangle, the sum of the squares of the other two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

c²=a²+b²

we know that a is 9 inches and that be is 12 inches

c²= (9)²+(12)²

c²= 81+144

c²=225

c=√225

c=15

after applying the measures to the Pythagoras theorem formula,

we found out that the length of the straight-edge needs to be 15 inches
