A line AB of length 2 m is placed in 2nd quadrant and parallel to vertical plane and the end A and B are 0.5 m and 0.3 m away from the horizontal plane respectively. The length of the line in top view is ______ m.
A line AB of length 2 m is placed in 2nd quadrant and parallel to vertical plane and the end A and B are 0.5 m and 0.3 m away from the horizontal plane respectively. The length of the line in top view is ______ m. Correct Answer 1.98
The distance between the projectors drawn from A and B to horizontal plane gives the length of line in top view given the line parallel to vertical plane. The difference in distances from A and B to horizontal plane is 0.2 (0.5-0.3). Given length is 2 m so required length is √(22-0.22 )= 1.98m.
