QUESTIONS FROM SECTIONS OF SOLIDS

1 A hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis length 60 mm is resting on HP
on one of its bases with two of the vertical faces perpendicular to VP. It is cut
by a plane inclined at 50° to HP and perpendicular to VP and passing through a
point at a distance 12 mm to the the top base. Draw its front view, sectional top
view and true shape of section.
