Imagining Monday....Taking the Mystery out of the rectangular shapes

So, what about those Imagine rectangular shapes? 
You know the ones I mean....

They can save you time, ink and paper, but deciding sizes can be a bit iffy....

I created a table that helps me have a better idea of the finished dimensions of those shapes. And I'd like to share it with you!

Let's say, you want a rectangle that is 2" high by 2 1/2". 
At the Imagine, select the 8 to 10 rectangle. 
Set the real size to "2". Look at the mat. 
The dimensions should be 2" x 2 1/2". This should be what the shape will cut.
But, what if I want to mat an A-2 card?
I know that it's dimensions are 4.25 x 5.5
I glance down the column labeled, "Set real size to...." and
find the size 4.20.
I move across the row until I find the number in the column closest to 5.5---
which is 5 3/4. 
I can then choose the Imagine shape 5 to 7 and set the real size to 4.2.
