Of these four, which alone projects as a single point when viewed from above?

  • A.a lateral edge of a pyramid standing on its base
  • B.the axis of a solid standing on its base
  • C.the axis of a solid resting on a base edge
  • D.the axis of a cylinder resting on a generator

Answer: B

Correct answer: the axis of a solid standing on its base

A line projects as a point only when it is perpendicular to the plane of projection, and the plan is projected onto the horizontal plane. The axis of a solid standing on its base is vertical, hence perpendicular to that plane, and so shows as a point. A lateral edge of a pyramid slopes, and the axes in the other two options are horizontal or inclined.
