🔍 Key Concepts

• Visualize orthographic projection: what do you see when you look straight at the left side of the object, with no perspective? • Decide which features on object X are actually visible from the left and which are hidden or on the far side. • Notice how the sloping top of the upright piece would appear when viewed exactly from the left.

💭 Think About

• Imagine you are standing directly on the left of object X. What outline (only outer edges) of the vertical plate and the base would you see? Any diagonals? • From the left side, is the front corner cut‑off (the chamfer on the base) toward you or away from you? Would that chamfer edge appear in the left view or be hidden behind the rest of the base? • How would the slanted top of the upright plate show up from the left: as a diagonal line, or just as a change in height (a step) on the vertical edge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check that the option you pick shows only the edges actually visible from the left – no lines for edges that are on the far (right) side of the object. • Verify whether the base thickness should look like a single uniform rectangle from the left, or be split into two segments as in some choices. • Confirm that the way the top of the vertical plate is drawn (flat, stepped, or diagonal) matches what you would see looking squarely at the left side of the sloping top.
