What is the function of the set square?

It's primarily a template for drawing lines at accurate right-angles and other angles to a line, usually 30º / 60º and 45º for standard set-squares. It's also used for drawing parallel lines. Adjustable set-squares allow you to set off other angles.

Why are multiple images formed when two mirrors are placed at right angles to each other?

With two mirrors at right angles you will have 3 (360/90 - 1) images of an object. Two of these are primary and the third is secondary. Some light rays from the object bounce of each of the mirrors to your eye to form the two primary images. But there are other rays that bounce off a mirror onto the second mirror before they get to you. This produced the secondary image.

Any non-regular polygon from pentagon and up can have two or more right angles. Take a square and chop off the top and then make a two more connecting line segments (like a house with roof), and you have an irregular pentagon with 2 right angles at the bottom, for example.


Why does light reflects off of a flat laying mirror?

Light reflects off a flat mirror because the surface is smooth and polished, causing light rays to bounce off at equal angles of incidence and reflection. This results in the image of an object being reflected as if it were on the other side of the mirror.

Is a rhombus with no right angles never a square?

That is correct. A square, by definition, has four right angles. (I remember back at junior school for being told off for creating an 'irregular square' because the angles weren't accurate!) I think (somebody may correct me) that in a rhombus, each set of two corners must match with their angles, anything else is a quadrilateral.
