(ch.
Problem 1-3. To draw a line inclined at 15° to
a
given horizontal line
from
given point.
(i) Place the 30°-60° sel-square with its longer edge containing the ripght ange,
coinciding with the edge of the T-square (fig. 1-11).
(i) Arrange the 45° set-square with its
longest edge on the longest edge of the 75°
30°-60° set-square.
(iii) Slide the 45 set-square so that one of
15
its edges containing the right angle passes
through the given point, and draw the
required line. The line drawn with the
other edge will make 15 angle with the
vertical line and 105° or 75° angles with
the horizontal line. A circle may thus be
divided into 24 equal parts with the aid
of the set-squares (fig. 1-12). FIG. 1-11

Problem 1-4. Todraw a line parallel to a
given straight line through agiven pon
The line AB and the point P are
given (fig. 1-14).
(i) Arrange an edge of a set-square
coinciding with AB. D
(ii) Place the other set-square
as a base
for the first.
(iii) Hold the second
set-square firmly A
and slide the first, till its
arranged
edge is along the point P.
(iv) Draw the line CD
through P. CD is
the required parallel line.
tis By keeping the edge
of the T-square as
base for the set-square, parallel lines,
long
distances apart, can be drawn. 4
