Study Notes
Objectives of Learning
- Ability to draw orthogonal projections.
- Skills to create plans and elevations of objects to scale.
Orthogonal Projections
- Involves representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions through orthogonal views.
- Emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between different views of an object.
Definition of a Plane
- A plane is defined as a flat surface that can extend indefinitely in all directions.
- Three types of planes are identified:
- Horizontal Plane
- Vertical Plane
- Inclined Plane
- A normal to a plane is a line that is perpendicular to any line on that plane, forming a right angle.
Example of a Right Cylinder
- The example displayed illustrates a quarter of a right cylinder with a horizontal base labeled PQRS.
- The base (PQRS) and the side surfaces (PSTU) are considered planes, while QRTU represents a curved surface.
Example of a Right Prism
- A right prism is depicted with a horizontal base ABCD.
- Vertical planes are denoted as ABF and CDE, with inclined planes labelled BCEF and ADEF.
- Lines FM and EN are normals to plane ABCD, highlighting their perpendicular orientation to lines AB and CD.
Cube Example
- A cube is presented, prompting the identification of the normal to specified planes:
- PQRS
- PSTU
- RSTW
- QRTU
Additional Right Prism Example
- Another right prism features a rectangular base ABCD.
- Midpoints M and N are noted on edges AB and CD respectively.
- Given measurements indicate equal lengths (FG = EH = DN = NC = AM = MB) for specific segments, reinforcing symmetrical properties.
- Questions encourage identification of normals to the following planes:
- ABCD
- ADEF
Quote Insight
- Emphasizing a clear and logical teaching style, John Spencer advocates for a patient approach to facilitate student learning.
