1. Draw the front view which is a square of3 5mm such that one of its corners is on xy and
   a side passing through it is making 30° with xy.


2. Obtain top view by proje~tion, keeping the length as 50mm.

Note: The distance of the base nearer to V.P is not given in the problem. Hence, the top view may
be drawn keeping the base nearer to xy at any convenient distance.

Problem: A triangular prism with side of base 35mm and axis 50mm long is resting on

its base on HP.Draw the projections of the prism when one of its rectangular faces is

perpendicular to v.p and the nearest edge parallel to v.p is 10mm from it.
