ENGINEERING DRAWING ASSIGNMENT

QUESTION 1

A pentagonal prism, side of base 25 mm and altitude 50 mm, rests on its base on
the HP such that an edge of the base is parallel to VP and nearer to the observer . It
is cut by a plane inclined at 45° to HP, perpendicular to VP and passing through
the center of the axis.

Draw the development of the complete surfaces of the truncated prism.
