This type of drawing represents a three-dimensional object using several two-dimensional views of the object.

• A. Orthographic
• B. Isometric
• C. Perspective
• D. Exploded View

Answer: (A)

Orthographic projection uses several two-dimensional views to represent a three-dimensional object. Each view—typically front, top, and side—is drawn on its own plane so the dimensions appear true to size in that view. By looking at all views together, you can determine every dimension and how features relate in space, which is essential for accurate manufacturing and inspection. This differs from isometric drawings, which show depth in a single image with foreshortened axes; perspective drawings, which create depth using vanishing points; and exploded views, which separate parts to show assembly. The key idea is using multiple flat views to capture all aspects of the object's shape and size.
