 PRACTICE QUESTION – 1
A pentagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis 60 mm lies on one of its rectangular faces on the H.P. with
its axis inclined at 45° to the V.P. A vertical section plane parallel to the V.P. cuts the prism at a distance of 20
mm from one of the end faces. Draw its sectional front view and top view.

SOLUTION
 PRACTICE QUESTION – 2
A hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis 70 mm is resting on a face on the ground with axis parallel to
the V.P. It is cut by an A.V.P. which is inclined at 45° to the V.P. and passes through a point 25 mm on the axis
from one of its ends. Draw its sectional front view and obtain true shape of the section.

SOLUTION
DEMONSTRATION QUESTION – 1
A pentagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis 70 mm has an edge of its base on the H.P. The axis is
parallel to the V.P. and inclined at 60° to the H.P. It is cut by an A.I.P. inclined at 60° to the H.P. and passing
through the highest corner of the prism. Draw its sectional top view and true shape of the section.

SOLUTION
DEMONSTRATION QUESTION – 2
A hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis 70 mm is resting on a face on the H.P. with axis parallel to
the V.P. It is cut by a plane whose V.T. is inclined at 30° to the reference line and passes through a point on
the axis 20 mm from one of its ends. Draw its sectional top view and obtain true shape of the section.
