II. DEFINITION (5POINTS EACH)

A. Answer: Scale in drafting refers to the ratio between the measurements on a
drawing and the actual measurements of the object. It is important in
technical drawings because it allows accurate representation of the object's
size and proportion. It helps users understand the real dimensions of the
object being depicted.

B. Answer: An isometric drawing is a 3D representation of an object that

shows all three dimensions (length, width, and height) in a single view with
equal foreshortening. Orthographic projection, on the other hand, presents
 multiple 2D views (usually top, front, and side views) of an object, each
showing only two dimensions and without foreshortening.

III. ENUMERATION: (10 POINTS)

ANSWER:

Object line: Used to represent visible outlines and edges of objects.

Hidden line: Depicts concealed or internal edges that are not visible in the
drawing.
Centerline: Represents the center or axis of symmetry of a feature or object.**
