DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACES

1) A pentagonal pyramid of base edge 25 mm and height 60mm rests vertically on its base on
the HP with one of its base edge parallel to VP. It is cut by a plane inclined at 60 to HP
and passes through a point 35 mm from the apex draw the development of the lateral
surfaces of the pyramid.
2) A hexagonal prism of base side 30mm and height 60mm rests vertically on the HP with a
side of base parallel to VP.A string is wound round the surface of the prism starting from
the extreme point on the base to the diametrically opposite corner on the top land and
ending at the same. Find graphically the shortest length of the string required. Also sketch
it in the front View.
3) A lamp shape is formed by cutting a cone of 70mm diameter and 90mm height by a
horizontal cutting plane at a distance of 36mm from the apex and another cutting plane
inclined at 30 to HP, passing through the lower left corner of the base. Draw the
development of the shade.
4) A hexagonal pyramid of side of base 30mm and axis 70mm rests on its base with two
edges of the base parallel to VP. A circular hole of diameter 30mm is completely drilled
through the pyramid such that the axis of the hole is perpendicular to VP. and intersects
with the axis of the pyramid at a distance of 50mm from the apex. Develop the lateral
surface of the pyramid with the shape of the hole formed in it.
5) A pentagonal pyramid of base side 20mm and altitude 55mm stands on its base on the HP
with a base edge parallel to the VP. A circular hole of diameter 20mm is drilled right
through the pyramid with the axis of the hole perpendicular to the VP and meeting the
axis of the pyramid at 20mm above the base. Draw the development of the pyramid with
the hole.
6) A cone of base 50mm diameter and height 75mm rests with its base on HP .A section
plane perpendicular to HP and inclined at 25 to VP cuts the cone at a distance of 12.5mm
from the axis. Draw the sectional front view and develop the lateral surface of the
remaining portion of the cone.
