	In the simplest of terms a set square is a template that is set at 90 degrees, it is used as an aid to the drawing, measuring or making of objects with right angle elements.

	Traditionally set squares were often made of wood with a void in the centre and measurements along the sides, today they may be part of a basic geometry set, made of clear plastic, often used for technical drawing. A standard geometry set is likely to have two different types of set squares: One a simple isosceles triangle with a 90 degree and two 45 degree angles. The second with a 90 degree angle, a 30 degree angle and a 60 degree angle, or a special right triangle where the angle ratios are 1:2:3. Also common in addition or replacement is a geometry triangle, combining a protractor (a semicircle with graduated degree markings from 0° to 180°, set within the 45/45/90 degree triangle with mm measures along the longest side.

In the simplest of terms a set square is a template that is set at 90 degrees, it is used as an aid to the drawing, measuring or making of objects with right angle elements.

Historically set squares were often made of wood with a void in the centre and measurements along its sides, today they may be part of a basic geometry set, made of clear plastic, often used for technical drawing. A standard geometry set is likely to have two different types of set squares: One a simple isosceles triangle with a 90 degree and two 45 degree angles. The second with a 90 degree angle, a 30 degree angle and a 60 degree angle, or a special right triangle where the angle ratios are 1:2:3.

Set squares are however commonly used in a variety of trades and professions, both historically and in modern professions
