• Descriptive Geometry –

• Is the graphic description of three dimensional

geometry.
• Is the science of graphic representation and solution
of space problems.
 Objective
• Equipping students with the required
knowledge that enables them to solve three
dimensional problems by using their two
dimensional representation.

SOLIDS & SURFACES

 Solids and Surfaces.

• Polyhedrons:- are multisided solids whose faces

consist of intersecting plane surfaces.

• These solids are classified as Regular or Irregular

polyhedrons.
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Regular polyhedrons:- faces of solids are

congruent.
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Irregular polyhedrons:- faces of solids are not

congruent.
 Solids and Surfaces.

SURFACES
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Surfaces:- Geometrical surfaces are generated

or formed by straight or curved lines which
moves through space in a prescribed manner.

• These surfaces are divided in to two basic

groups.
 Solids and Surfaces.

• These surfaces are divided in to two basic

groups.

1. Ruled Surfaces:- generated by a straight lines

2. Double-Curved surfaces:- generated by a

curved line
 Solids and Surfaces.

1. Ruled Surfaces:- there are three types of

ruled surfaces.
A. Plane surfaces:- Generated by a straight
line moving along two parallel lines or two
intersecting lines.
 Solids and Surfaces.

B. Single- curved surfaces [two methods of generation]:-

i. Generated by a straight line which moves
along a curved line
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Each successive position, of the straight line, is parallel to its previous

position.
 Solids and Surfaces.

ii. Generated by a straight line which is fixed at one

end while the free end moves along a curved line.
 Solids and Surfaces.

C. Warped Surfaces:- Generated by a straight line

which moves along a two skew lines and remains
parallel to a given plane.
 Solids and Surfaces.

2. Double-curved surfaces:- are formed by revolving

the plane of a curved line about an axis
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Surfaces of Revolution:- are formed by rotating a

line [ straight or curved] about an axis

• Surfaces formed are single-curved surfaces.

• Many double-curved surfaces are surface of
revolution.
 Solids and Surfaces.

• Surfaces formed are single-curved surfaces.

• Many double-curved surfaces are surface of
revolution.
