The distance between Chennai and Madurai is 400
Km. It is represented by a distance of 8 cm on a
railway map. Find the R.F. and construct a vernier
scale to read kilo meters. Show on it the distances
of 543 km, 212 km and 408 km.
A straight line AB of length 100 mm has its end A
10mm in front of VP and B 20 mm above HP. The
front view and top view of the line measures 80
mm and 60 mm respectively. Draw the projections
of the line and obtain the true angles of inclination
with HP and VP.

A square pyramid of base edge 20 mm and

altitude 40mm rests on its base on the ground with
a base edge parallel to the picture plane. The axis
of the pyramid is 25 mm behind the PP and 25mm
to the right of the eye. The eye is 50 mm in front
of the PP and 50 mm above the ground. Draw the
perspective view.
(or)
Draw the perspective view of the pentagonal prism
of base side 20 mm and height 40mm when it
rests on its base on the ground plane with one of
its rectangular faces parallel to and 20 mm behind
the picture plane. The station point is 45 mm in
front of the PP and 60 mm above GP. The observer
is 20 mm to the left of the axis. Draw the
perspective by visual ray method. Use the top
view and front view.
Draw by free hand the top view, front view and
right side view of object shown in fig. 1 or fig.2.
