In the viewing plane when surfaces are not parallel to the plane, the orthographic projection view shows thers surfaces smaller in

B) width or height
C) back or front

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When surfaces are not parallel to the viewing plane, the orthographic projection view shows those surfaces smaller in width or height depending on the angle of the surface. This is because the projection shows the foreshortening of the surface as it recedes into the distance or is angled away from the viewer. Therefore, the best choice is B, which lists width or height as the affected measurements.
