Solution Steps:
1.Assuming standing on Hp, begin with Tv,a square with all sides equally inclined to xy.Project Fv and name all points of FV & TV.

5.In final Tv draw same diagonal is perpendicular to Vp as said in problem. Then as usual project final FV.
6. A tetrahedron of 50 mm long edges is resting on one edge on Hp while one triangular face containing this edge is vertical and 45 inclined to Vp. Draw projections.
Solution Steps
- As it is resting assume it standing on Hp. Begin with Tv , an equilateral triangle as side case as shown:
- First project base points of Fv on xy, name those & axis line. From a’ with TL of edge, 50 mm, cut on axis line & mark o’ (as axis is not known, o’ is finalized by slant edge length)
- Then complete Fv. In 2nd Fv make face o’b’c’ vertical as said in problem. And like all previous problems solve completely.
7. A pentagonal pyramid 30 mm base sides & 60 mm long axis, is freely suspended from one corner of base so that a plane containing it’s axis remains parallel to Vp. Draw it’s three views.
Solution Steps:
In all suspended cases axis shows inclination with Hp.
1.Hence assuming it standing on Hp, drew Tv - a regular pentagon, corner case. 2.Project Fv & locate CG position on axis – ( ¼ H from base.) and name g’ and Join it with corner d’
