-The imaginary
line joining the Edge
Apex with the
Centre of the
base is called
Axis
Axis of pyramid.
Base
According to the shape of its base, pyramid can be sub
classified into following types:
(a) Triangular Pyramid:
Base
(1) Cylinder:
A right regular cylinder is a solid
generated by the revolution of a
rectangle about its vertical side
which remains fixed.
Right angle Generators

(2) Cone:
A right circular cone is a solid
generated by the revolution of a right
angle triangle about its vertical side
which remains fixed.

(5) Oblique Solid:
A solid is said
to be a Oblique
Solid if its axis
is inclined at Axis

When a Pyramid or a
Cone is cut by a Plane
parallel to its base,
thus removing the top
portion, the remaining
lower portion is called
its frustum. FRUSTUM OF A

When a Pyramid or a
Cone is cut by a Plane
inclined to its base,
thus removing the top
portion, the remaining
lower portion is said to
be truncated.

Exercise 2 :
A tetrahedron of 40 mm
long edges, rests on HP on
one of its edges such that
the face containing that
edge is inclined to HP at
30° and the same edge is
inclined at 45° to VP. Draw
the projections of the solid.

height 70mm, is resting on HP on
the point of periphery of the base.
Axis of the cone makes 60 with HP
and 30 with the VP. Draw the
projections of the cone, when the
apex is nearer to the VP.

Exercise 4 :
A regular pentagonal prism of
25mm long edges and axis
70mm long rests on HP on one
of its corner of the base. The
slant edge passing through
corner makes 45 with HP and
the side opposite to the same
corner makes 30 with VP.
Draw its projections.
