After you lay out the lines you'll cut for a corner.

On one side measure 3 inches from the corner and mark it.
On the other side measure 4 inches from the corner and mark it.

Now the diagonal measurement from those marks should be 5 inches.

More impressive when measuring the old fella in metric also;
"Hey there baby, I got a hundred and something millimeters and it's all for you....
