A draughtsman measures a line's inclination directly from the plan view and reports it as the true inclination. The figure will be

  • A.correct
  • B.correct only if the line is inclined to both planes
  • C.too large
  • D.too small

Answer: C

Correct answer: too large

A projection preserves the height difference between the ends while shortening the base, so the angle in the view is steeper than the real one. Reading the inclination straight off a view therefore overstates it, and the error grows the more the line is inclined to that plane. The true angle appears only in a view showing the true length.
