Question

The length of line placed in profile plane and making an angle of 55 degrees with the vertical is 2 m from side view. What is the actual length?

(a) 2 m

(b) 3.4 m

(c) 2.4 m

(d) 1.6 m

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

The doubt is from Line contained by a Plane Perpendicular to Both the Reference Planes in chapter Projection of Lines of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) 2 m

Explanation: The view given is side view in this view whatever the angle made by line with any of the other planes except the profile plane it gives the actual length. So here the actual length and side view length become equal.
