DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACES

DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACES:-

The complete surface of an object when laid out on a plane is called the development of the
surface.

METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT:-

Parallel Line Method:

It is used for the development of prisms and cylinders in which the lines drawn to represent
the different elements of the surfaces are parallel to each other.

Radial Line Method:

It is used for the development of pyramids and cones in which the apex is taken as centre
and its slant edge or generator as the radius for its development.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO CYLINDER
Q 1. A cylinder of base dia 50 mm and height of axis 70 mm is resting on its base. Develop
the lateral surface of the cylinder.
Q 2. A cylinder of base dia 50 mm and height of axis 70 mm is resting on its base. It is cut by
a cutting plane which is inclined at 45 deg to HP and passes through a point 40 mm from
base along the axis of the cylinder. Develop the lateral surface of the truncated cylinder.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO PRISM
Q 1. A triangular prism of base 50 mm and height 70 mm is resting on its base such that one
of its base edge is parallel to VP. Develop the lateral surface.
Q 2. A pentagonal prism of base 25 mm and height 50 mm is resting on its base such that one
of its base edge is perpendicular to VP. It is cut by a cutting plane inclined at 45 degree to HP
and passes through the center of top face. Develop the lateral surface.
Q 3. A square prism of base 30 mm and height 70mm is resting on its base such that one of its
base edge makes an angle of 45 degree with the VP. It is cut by a cutting plane inclined at 45
degree to HP and it bisects the axis of the prism. Develop lateral surface of the truncated
prism.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO CONE
Q. A cone of base
dia 50 mm and
height 70mm is
resting on its
base. Develop the
lateral surface of
the cone.
Q. A cone of base
dia 50 mm and
height 70mm is
resting on its
base. It is cut by
a cutting plane
inclined at 45
degree to HP and
bisects the axis of
the cone.
Develop the
lateral surface of
the truncated
cone.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO PYRAMID

pyramid of base
40 mm and
height 60 mm is
resting on its base
such that one of
its base edge is
perpendicular to
VP. Develop its
lateral surface.
Q. A triangular
pyramid of base
40 mm and
height 60 mm is
resting on its base
such that one of
its base edge is
parallel to VP.

lateral surface.
Q. A pentagonal
pyramid of base
25 mm and
height 50 mm is
resting on its base
such that one of
its base edge is
perpendicular to
VP. It is cut by a
cutting plane
inclined at 45
degree to HP and
passes through a
point 25 mm
from base along
axis. Develop the
lateral surface of
truncated
pyramid.
