the motion of the sun and the shadow an object creates as a measurement of time. In this experiment‚ we would better understand how these factors were used to tell the time back then. We would be indentifying the length of the shadow as well as the angle of elevation of the sun at four different times of the day. To get more accurate results‚ we would be using an object with a fixed height -in this case a bamboo stick 2.84m long. Time: 9:30am tan = oppositeadjacent tan = 2.84 m2

left is an example of parallel dimensioning. Notice how on the left the dimension lines all meet on the same line. Dimensioning Angles- Angled surface may be dimensioned using coordinate method to specify the two location distances of the angle. Angled surfaces may also be dimensioned using the angular method by specifying one location distance and the angle. This is an example I have made to show how an object that is isometric and orthographic drawn. The object on the left is an isometric
