Plane geometry deals with flat, two-dimensional shapes that can be drawn on paper, while solid geometry involves three-dimensional shapes. Technical drawing applies geometry to accurately represent objects through detailed drawings using various types of lines, scales, and angles. Lines are used to depict edges, dimensions, and other features, and different line types convey different meanings. Scales ensure drawings match actual sizes by relating dimensions on paper to real-world sizes through ratios. Angles are crucial for showing orientation and various angle types exist. Technical drawing relies on geometry principles to create clear and precise representations of objects conforming to specifications.

What is Plane Geometry?

Plane geometry deals in flat shapes that you can draw on a piece of paper, such
as squares, circles, and triangles. Solid geometry deals in three-dimensional
solid shapes that exist around us, such as spheres, cones, and cubes.

Now, Technical drawing is a discipline that focuses on creating detailed and


accurate representations of objects or structures, typically used in engineering,
architecture, and various other industries.

Geometry plays a crucial role in technical drawing, as it provides the foundation


foraccurately representing lines, dimensions, shapes, and angles of objects.

Lines in Technical Drawing:

- In technical drawing, lines are used to represent edges, outlines, and


dimensions of objects.

Different types of lines are used for various purposes:

- Continuous Thin Lines: Represent visible edges or outlines.

- Dashed Lines: Indicate hidden or invisible lines.

- Thick Lines: Emphasize important features or boundaries.

The accuracy and precision of lines are essential in technical drawing to convey.

information clearly.

Scales in Technical Drawing:


- Line scale, also known as a scale factor, is used in technical drawing to ensure
that the drawing accurately represents the actual dimensions of an object or
structure.

- The choice of scale depends on the size and complexity of the object being
drawn.

Common scales include 1:1 (full size), 1:10, 1:50, and 1:100.

- Scale is often expressed as a ratio, and it dictates how much the dimensions on
the drawing differ from the real dimensions. For example, in a 1:10 scale, 1 cm
on the drawing represents 10 cm in reality.

Angles in Technical Drawing:

- Angles are essential in technical drawing, particularly when representing the


orientation and alignment of objects. Key concepts include:- Right Angle: A 90-
degree angle is often used as a reference for perpendicular lines and corners.

- Protractor: A protractor is a tool used to measure and draw angles accurately.


It's particularly useful when drawing precise angles in technical drawings.

- Tangent Lines: Tangent lines are often used to represent the curve of a circular
object, and the angle of tangency is crucial for accurate depiction.

Types of Angles

Acute Angle: An acute angle (or sharp angle) measures between 0° and 90°.

Right Angle: A right angle measures 90°.

Obtuse Angle: An obtuse angle measures between 90° to 180°.

Straight Angle: A straight angle measures 180°.

Reflex Angle: A reflex angle measures between 180° to 360°.

Complete Angle: A complete angle measures 360°.

In technical drawing, geometry is not just a theoretical concept but a practical


tool for
creating precise and accurate representations of objects and structures. Line
scale and angle relationships are fundamental to ensuring that drawings are not
only clear and informative but also conform to real-world dimensions and
specifications.

Practice Problems to be given in for next class on Thursday February 8, 2024:
