Activity 3.4 Linear Dimensions Software Programs To

In todays busy, fast-paced world, engineers use solid modeling software programs to speed up the calculating process.

However, the user of the software must understand what the software is doing in order to estimate the answers and to be able to recognize a possible error.

When a calculation is required, show your work.

What conversion factor should be used to convert from Gigaliters to liters 9 2.

Use the appropriate number of significant figures to express your answer unless otherwise indicated.

Megaliters to liters.

Record your answer in whole liters.

Liters b. 57.2 inches to feet.

Record your answer in fractional inches.

Record your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a yard.

In order to determine the number of shingles that you would need to order, you would first have to calculate the total surface area of the roof.

Would the views in your sketch give you enough information to perform these calculations Are all of the edges of the roof portrayed in their true length Parts that have inclined surfaces present a particular challenge because an inclined surface cannot be viewed perpendicular to any of the six principle views in a simple multi-view drawing.

Therefore, geometry that is on an inclined surface will not be represented properly with a simple multi-view drawing.

The surface and its features will appear to be foreshortened.

When this happens, an auxiliary view is needed to properly communicate the geometry on an inclined surface.
