An isometric drawing of a 100 mm edge is drawn, in true isometric projection, as

  • A.81.6 mm
  • B.122.5 mm
  • C.100 mm
  • D.70.7 mm

Answer: A

Correct answer: 81.6 mm

True isometric projection foreshortens every axis in the ratio \( \sqrt{2/3} = 0.816 \), so \[ 100 \times 0.816 = 81.6\ \mathrm{mm}. \] An isometric drawing, which is what is usually produced, ignores this and sets off the full 100 mm, giving a figure 22.5 per cent larger but identical in shape.
