When you marked 30 degrees you marked the wrong edge of the square

Someone gave me a speed square years ago I had no idea it was so useful. Thanks Joe!

The demonstrations of four of the five tips were excellent. The demonstration on using the protractor was faulty because, although finding 30 degrees was found correctly, the wrong edge of the tool was used to strike the line therefore it wasn’t 30 degrees.

What edge should be used?
