Find the front view, top view and side view of each of the following solids, fixing its orientation with respect to the vertical, horizontal and side planes: cube, cuboid, parallelepiped, cylinder, cone, prism, and pyramid.
Cube: All three views are squares of equal size. Cuboid: Front and side views are rectangles, top view is a rectangle (dimensions depend on orientation). Cylinder: Front and side views are rectangles, top view is a circle. Cone: Front and side views are triangles, top view is a circle. Triangular prism: Front view is a rectangle, top view is a triangle, side view is a rectangle. Square pyramid: Front and side views are triangles, top view is a square.
Explanation
The chapter explains that projections on the vertical plane give the front view, on the horizontal plane give the top view, and on the side plane give the side view. The shape of each view depends on the solid's orientation relative to these planes.
