    An orthographic drawing has three squares, two in a row with one above the right square.

    1. An orthographic drawing appears as a large square with a small square in its top left quarter.
    2. An orthographic drawing is four squares in two rows and two columns.
    3. An orthographic drawing is a rectangle the height of two squares with a square to the right of the top half.
    4. A figure has four cubes in a square on bottom with a fifth on top of the back cube, such that four cubes are visible.
  3. Which statement is true based on the diagram?

    A number line has point A at negative 7, point B at negative 3, point C at 2, point D at 4, and point E at 8.

    1. b c bar , approximately equal to , c e bar
    2. b d less than c d
    3. eh c plus b d equals eh d
    4. eh c plus c d equals eh d

Extended Response

  1. Make an orthographic drawing of the structure below.
