LAB 7 – Projection of Solids

1.Nomenclature of different solids,

2. Draw the projections of a triangular prism, base 40 mm side and axis 50 mm long, resting on
one of its bases on the HP with a vertical face perpendicular to the VP.
3. Draw the projections of a pentagonal pyramid, base side 30 mm and axis 50 mm long, having
its base on the HP and an edge of the base parallel to the VP. Also draw its side view.
4. A tetrahedron of 5 cm long edges is resting on the HP on one of its faces, with an edge of that
face parallel to the VP. Draw its projections and measure the distance of its apex from the ground.
5. A hexagonal prism has one of its rectangular faces parallel to the HP. Its axis is perpendicular
to the VP. Draw its projections. Side of base 2.5 cm long; axis 5 cm long.
6. A square pyramid, base 40 mm side and axis 65 mm long, has its base in the VP. One edge of
the base is inclined at 30° to the H.P. and a corner contained by that edge is on the H.P. Draw its
projections.
