2. PROJECTIONS OF SOLIDS
Definition of Solid:
A solid is a three dimensional object having length, breadth and thickness and it is completely bounded by either plane or curved, or combination of the two, is called as 3-Dimensional Solid.
-The shape of the solid is described by drawing its two orthographic views usually on the two principle planes i.e. H.P. & V.P.
-For some complicated solids, in addition to the above principle views, side view is also required.
-A solid is an aggregate of points, lines and planes and all problems on projections of solids would resolve themselves into projections of points, lines and planes.

3. Classification of Solids:
Solids may be divided into two main groups
(A) Polyhedra
A Polyhedra is defined as a solid bounded by planes called faces which meet in straight lines called edges.
(B) Solids of revolution
When a solid is generated by revolutions of a plane figure about a fixed line (Axis) then such solids are named as solids of revolution.

4. SOLIDS Polyhedra Solids of revolution (1) Prism (1) Cylinder
(2) Pyramid
(3) Tetrahedron
(4) Cube or Hexahedron
(5) Octahedron
(8 Equilateral Triangles)
(6) Dodecahedron
(12 Pentagons)
(7) Icosahedron
(20 Triangles)
Solids of revolution
(1) Cylinder
(2) Cone
(3) Sphere
(4) Ellipsoid
(5) Paraboloid
(6) Hyperboloid

5. There are seven regular Polyhedra which may be defined as stated above
Solids of revolutions may be of following types

6. (1) Prism:
It is a polyhedra having two equal and similar faces called its ends or bases, parallel to each other and joined by other faces which are rectangles.
Faces
The imaginary line joining the Centres of the bases or faces is called Axis of Prism.
Edge
Axis

7. According to the shape of its base, prism can be sub classified into following types:
(a) Triangular Prism
(b) Square Prism
(c) Pentagonal Prism
(d) Hexagonal Prism

8. (2) Pyramid:
This is a polyhedra having plane surface as a base and a number of triangular faces meeting at a point called the Vertex or Apex.
The imaginary line joining the Apex with the Centre of the base is called Axis of pyramid.

9. (a) Triangular Pyramid: (b) Square Pyramid: (c) Pentagonal Pyramid:
According to the shape of its base, pyramid can be sub classified into following types:
(a) Triangular Pyramid:
(b) Square Pyramid:
(c) Pentagonal Pyramid:
(d) Hexagonal Pyramid:

(1) Cylinder:
A right regular cylinder is a solid generated by the revolution of a rectangle about its vertical side which remains fixed.

11. Right angle triangle

(2) Cone:
A right circular cone is a solid generated by the revolution of a right angle triangle about its vertical side which remains fixed.

12. Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(1) Edge or generator:
For Pyramids & Prisms, edges are the lines separating the triangular faces or rectangular faces from each other.
For Cylinder, generators are the straight lines joining different points on the circumference of the bases with each other

13. Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(2) Apex of solids:
Apex
Edges
Generators
CONE
PYRAMID
For Cone and Pyramids, Apex is the point where all the generators or the edges meet.

15. Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(3) Axis of Solid:
For Cone and Pyramids, Axis is an imaginary line joining centre of the base to the Apex.
For Cylinder and Prism, Axis is an imaginary line joining centres of ends or bases.

16. (4) Right Solid:
A solid is said to be a Right Solid if its axis is perpendicular to its base.
Axis
Base
(5) Oblique Solid:
Axis
Base
A solid is said to be a Oblique Solid if its axis is inclined at an angle other than 90° to its base.

17. (6) Regular Solid:
A solid is said to be a Regular Solid if all the edges of the base or the end faces of a solid are equal in length and form regular plane figures

18. (7) Frustum of Solid:
FRUSTUM OF A PYRAMID
CUTTING PLANE PARALLEL TO BASE
When a Pyramid or a Cone is cut by a Plane parallel to its base, thus removing the top portion, the remaining lower portion is called its frustum.

19. Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(8) Truncated Solid :
When a Pyramid or a Cone is cut by a Plane inclined to its base, thus removing the top portion, the remaining lower portion is said to be truncated.
