GCSE Maths - 2D Projections Of 3D Objects #115

The video tutorial explains how to visualize 3D objects from different perspectives, focusing on three main projections: front elevation, side elevation, and plan view. It provides a practical example of drawing these projections for a given shape, highlighting the importance of understanding labeled views in exams. The tutorial concludes with examples of common shapes, such as a square-based pyramid and a cylinder, and their respective 2D projections.

What does the front elevation of a 3D object represent?

• The view from above

• The view from below

• The view from the side

• The view from the front

In a 2D projection, what does the plan view show?

• The view from the front

• The view from below

• The view from above

• The view from the side

When given a labeled front view, what should you determine next?

• The material of the object

• The side view

• The color of the object

• The weight of the object

How does the plan view of a square-based pyramid differ from its front view?

• The plan view is a square with diagonal lines

• The plan view is a triangle

• The plan view is a circle

• The plan view is a rectangle

What shape does the plan view of a cylinder take?

• A triangle

• A square

• A rectangle

• A circle
