(Demonstration and Practice questions)

Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

 DEMONSTRATION QUESTION
A cone with 40 mm base diameter and 50 mm height is resting on one generator on HP, which makes 30°
inclination (CW) with the VP. Draw its projections. [First Angle]

SOLUTION
Practice Question 1
(Type I - Axis inclined to HP and parallel to VP)
A hexagonal prism having base edge 100 mm and height 150 mm is resting on
one of its base edges on the ground in such a way that the axis is inclined 70°
(CW )to the ground and parallel to VP. Draw projections of the solid.

(Type I - Axis inclined to HP and parallel to VP)
A square pyramid having base diagonal 200 mm and height 175 mm is resting
on one of its base corner on the ground in such a way that, the slant edge
associated with that corner is vertical. Draw projections of solid if the axis is
parallel to the VP. Resting on Ground Surface – 3rd Angle

Practice Question 3
(Type I - Axis inclined to VP and parallel to HP)
A cone having base diameter 200 mm and height 200 mm is resting on
circumferential point of base on the ground with axis inclined 50° (CCW) to VP
and parallel to the ground. Draw projections of solid if the apex is towards the
