  Summary: 1. What is Parabola? 2. Use of Parabola. 3. Methods of construction of a Parabola. 4. How to draw Tangent and Normal on a Parabola? What is a Parabola or Parabolic Curve? When a curve is generated by cutting out a conic in such a way that the section plane is parallel to one of its generators of the conic, it is called a Parabola or Parabolic Curve .                                     Use of Parabola or Parabolic Curves Practically, in engineering drawing, the Parabolic curves are used to draw arches , bridges , sound reflectors , light reflectors , etc. Thus, it has a huge application in architectural drawing and civil engineering drawing. Methods of construction of a Parabola   (1) Eccentricity Method or General Method or Common Method It’s similar to drawing an ellipse in the Eccentrici...

Summary: 1. What is Hyperbola and how it’s formed? 2. Use of Hyperbola. 3. Methods to draw a Hyperbola. 4. What are Asymptotes? 5. How to draw or find out asymptotes in Hyperbola? 6. How to draw a Tangent and Normal on a Hyperbola? What is Hyperbola or Hyperbolic Curve and how it’s generated? When a curve is generated by cutting a conic section plane parallel to its axis, it is called a Hyperbolic Curve . As we know, a Hyperbola is a plane curve only which has two separate branches . It means a Hyperbolic curve is generated in two ways. (i) Either, when two cones are pointing toward each other and both cones are intersected by a plane that is parallel to the axes of those cones, (ii) Or, when the cutting plane of a conic section is parallel to the axis of the conic. For simplicity, the cutting plane must be parallel to the axis to generate a Hyperbolic curve.   Use of Hyperbola Practically, in engineering drawing, the Hyperbolic curves are used to draw Qu...

Post Summarization : ● What is Polygon - Introduction. ● Types of Polygon. ● Methods to draw Regular Polygons. (In this chapter we'll see the methods to draw a Regular Polygon only as in Engineering Drawing mostly a Regular Polygon is used Practically.) - UPDATED WHAT IS POLYGON: INTRODUCTION A plain area, surrounded by multiple sides (more than two sides or minimum by three sides!) is called a Polygon . A Polygon is named according to its total number of sides as follows. Sides Three (3 Nos.) Four (4 Nos.) Five (5 Nos.) Six (6 Nos.) Seven (7 Nos.) Eight (8 Nos.) Nine (9 Nos.) Ten (10 Nos.) Eleven (11 Nos.) Twelve (12 Nos.) Termed As Triangle Qua...
