Prism Views


1. The problem asks to draw the outline of each view of a 3D prism: Plan View, Front Elevation, and Side Elevation. 2. The Plan View shows the shape as viewed from above. We project all edges vertically downwards onto the grid to get the top outline. 3. The Front Elevation shows the shape as seen from the front. Since the arrow points to the front lower left edge, we look directly at that face and trace its outline onto the grid. 4. The Side Elevation shows the shape as seen from the side (right or left side). We project the points accordingly and trace the profile on the grid. 5. Each grid is a 6x6 square where the outlines should be drawn carefully preserving the edges and vertices' relative positions. The key to solving is visualizing the prism from each view and translating the visible vertices and edges to the corresponding 2D plane.
