A foreshortened surface in the top view only b. Foreshortened surfaces in the top and right side views c. A foreshortened surface in the right side view d. None of the above

Explanation / Answer

1) To accurately describe even of the simplest objects we need atleast two orthographic views; typically an "elevation" and "plan". The elevation gives us heights and widths while plan gives us depths and widths through which we can completely visualize objects.

2) An inclined surface can appear as a line in one of the principal views and as a foreshortened area in the other two views.

3) A forshortened surface in the right side view.
