Max Marks: 80 Tutorial-7

Q1. A square prism, base side 35 mm and a 65 mm axis length rests on its base on the HP with all
the sides of the base equally inclined to the VP. Different AIPs cut the prism in such way that the
true shape of the section is a rhombus of maximum size. Locate the cutting plane and draw FV and
the true shape of the section. (4+8+8 = 20 marks)

Q2. A horizontal cylinder (axis parallel to the VP) with a 50 mm diameter and 80mm length is cut
by two AIPs such that the true shape of the section is an ellipse of major axis 60 mm. Draw FV
and SV and locate the cutting planes. Also, draw the true shapes of sections. (5+5+5+5=20 marks)

Q3. A tetrahedron of 50 mm side is resting on a face on the HP with a side of the base face
perpendicular to the VP. A cutting plane cuts the tetrahedron in such a way that the true shape of
the section is a rectangle with smaller sides of 14 mm. Draw FV and TV and locates the cutting
plane. Also draw the shape of the section. (5+5+5+5=20 marks)

Q4. A cylinder of 40 mm diameter, 60 mm height and having its axis vertical is cut by a section
plane, perpendicular to the VP, inclined at 45⁰ to the HP and intersecting the axis 32 mm above
the base. Draw its front view, sectional top view, sectional side view and the true shape of the
section. (5+5+5+5=20 marks)
