Question
Find the distance between the parallel lines $l$ and $m$, using a set square.
✓
Answer
Distance between $l$ and $m$ is $1.3\ cm$. Place the ruler so that one of its measuring edges lies along the line $l$. Hold it with one hand. Now place a set square with one arm of the right angle coinciding with the edge of the ruler. Draw the line segment $PM$ along the edge of the set square, as shown in the figure. Then, measure the distance $(PM)$ between $l$ and $m$, which will be equal to $1.3\ cm.$
