Task 4: Application questions Here is the model of a three-dimensional structure. Based on this structure, you will make some hand-drawn sketches. Scan them or photograph them with a phone or digital camera, and place them into your Word doc. Create an orthographic diagram (composed of front, top, and side views) for this model. Each cube is exactly 1 inch in length, width, and height. Use a scale of 1:2. For your side view, use the right side. Create an isometric diagram for this model. Remember to use ” for your drawing. Use the same measurements and scale as in part a. Draw your diagram as if you were looking at the front right-hand corner. The diagram here has been drawn from the front left-hand corner. Calculate the scale. Calculate the size of the kitchen to the end of the countertop. Assume the table is in the dining room. An interior designer plans to use triangular tiles that are 8 cm × 9 cm × 13 cm for a backsplash. To fit them together correctly, she needs to know the size of the angles on the tile. Calculate the three angles on the tile, accurate to one decimal place. Include a diagram.
