  4. circle

The isometric view of a circle is an ellipse. It can be derived by using four-centre method. In this method, a given circle is enclosed by a square. After that, a rhombus is drawn as an isometric view of the square. Then the farthest corners of the rhombus are joined.

Answer: A circle will appear on an isometric drawing as an ellipse.

A closed curved shape that is flat is known as a circle. On the other hand, a special kind of circle whose major and minor axes are equal in length is called an ellipse. The key difference between circle and ellipse are given in the table below.

Difference between Circle and Ellipse

Circle

Ellipse

In a circle, all the points are equally far from the center.

In an ellipse, all the points are at different distances from the center.

A line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle is called a chord.

The midpoints of a set of parallel chords of an ellipse are collinear.

The length of one circuit along the circle is known as the circumference.

The length of the semi-major axis and the eccentricity and is an integral part of an ellipse is known as the circumference.

Example – a circle is a wheel, a dinner plate, and a coin.

Example – a glass of water, a hula hoop, and a simple dinner plate when tilted to view at an angle.

Summary:

A circle will appear on an isometric drawing as an _________.

The isometric drawing of a circle is an ellipse. It is a curved line that forms a closed loop, where the sum of the distances from two points to every point on the line is constant.
