• A triangular pyramid, base 40mm sides and axis 60mm long,
resting on its base on the HP with one of its edges parallel to
the VP. A section plane passing through one of the base
corners of the pyramid and the two slant edges at 20mm and
30mm above HP cuts the pyramid. Draw the front view,
sectional top view and true shape of the section. Determine
the inclination of the section plane with the reference plane.
