Accepted Answer

A)  radius 
B)  tangent 
C)  diameter 
D)  perspective

Question 3

Discuss how center, extension, and dimension lines are usually given on a drawing.

Accepted Answer

In standard practice, center, extension, and dimension lines are usually given on a drawing for locating and dimensioning a radius. Many times, the center is not important, since the location of a radius (arc) is controlled by features or dimensions. Dimensioning in such cases is simplified by conveniently placing the radius dimensions.

Accepted Answer

A)  unidirectional 
B)  linear 
C)  orthogonal 
D)  symmetric 
A)  unidirectional 
B)  linear 
C)  orthogonal 
D)  symmetric
