Engineering Drawing Questions and Answers – True Length of a Straight Line and its Inclinations with the Reference Planes

This set of Engineering Drawing Interview Questions and Answers for Experienced people focuses on “True Length of a Straight Line and its Inclinations with the Reference Planes”.

1. A line which is parallel to vertical plane and making an angle of 50 degrees with horizontal has a length of 5 cm from side view. What is its true length?
a) 6.52 cm
b) 7.77 cm
c) 3.2 cm
d) 3.8 cm
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: True length of line parallel to vertical plane and making angle with horizontal plane can be of two values either from top view or side view but from front view the length will be given length. As here it is given side view L= 5/sin (50).
