(i) False. There are two set squares in a geometry box, one with angles 30°, 60°, 90° and the other with angles 45°, 45°, 90°.

(ii) True. An angle can be copied with the help of a ruler and compass.

(iii) True. The perpendicular bisector of a line segment can be drawn by paper folding.

(iv) True. A perpendicular to a line from a given point not on it can be drawn by paper folding.

(v) True. Both a 45° - 45° - 90° set square and a protractor have 1 line of symmetry each.
