2) A triangular plane lamina of sides 25mm is resting on HP with one of its corner touching it, such that
the side opposite to the corner on which it rests is 15mm above HP and makes an angle of 300 with VP.
Draw the top and front views in this position. Also determine the inclination of the lamina to the
reference plane.
