How do we use the set squares?
You have to handle your set squares smoothly and accurately without exercising too much pressure on them, just to prevent movement.
PARALLEL LINES
- The 45 set square hypotenuse (longest side) is placed attached to the line to which we want to draw the parallels (GUIDE).
- The 60-30 set square hypotenuse is attached to the 45 set square leg.
- Fix the 60-30 set square and move the 45 set square upwards or downwards drawing the desired parallel lines along its hypotenuse.
PERPENDICULAR LINES
If we want to draw perpendicular lines to one direction, we will have to follow the first two steps as stated for parallel lines and then the following ones:
- Having fixed the 60-30 set square, the 45 set square is turned until the other leg is attached to the hypotenuse of the 60-30 set square.
- Draw the perpendicular line along the hypotenuse of the 45 set square.
