30 degrees off square?? Help plz

HI,
I am making the doll picnic table with my son, and I have never seen directions that said 30 degrees off square. Does that just mean a 30 degree angle?

Here is a copy of the cut list:
TABLE
5 - 1x2 @ 17 3/4"
3 - 1x2 @ 7 1/2" (Long point to long point, both ends cut at 30 degrees off square, NOT parallel)
2 - 1x2 @ 8 3/4" (Both ends cut at 30 degrees off square, ends are parallel)
2 - 1x2 @ 7 7/8" (Both ends cut at 30 degrees off square, ends are parallel)
2 - 1x2 @ 6 1/4" (Both ends BEVELED at 30 degrees off square, ends are parallel)

Thanks for any help here, I am a little confused!

The square line is perpendicular to the length of the board. So a line thirty degrees off square forms an angle of thirty degrees with this perpendicular line.

I looked at the tiny house plan you graceously provided and notice that it is mention that a 2/12 roof pitch for instance, means you need to cut the rafter at a 10 degre angle. Is that an approximation of the true angle and if so, is it going to do the job anyway? Thanks, Andre
