A square of 40 mm side lying parallel to the horizontal plane has a plan of area

  • A.1600 mm\( ^2 \)
  • B.800 mm\( ^2 \)
  • C.160 mm\( ^2 \)
  • D.40 mm\( ^2 \)

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1600 mm\( ^2 \)

A figure parallel to the plane of projection is not foreshortened, so the plan is the true shape at true size: \[ 40 \times 40 = 1600\ \mathrm{mm^2}. \] The plan of a horizontal figure can therefore be measured directly, which is why a drawing places faces parallel to a plane of projection wherever it can.
