- Description
- This relief shows four more special cases of lines. It is one of two reliefs that are about twice as long as the rest. The wires and strings are missing, so it is difficult to visualize the representations. (Note that the wire coming out of the horizontal plane on the far right is not correct, it is in fact one of the support pieces. This is how the relief was configured when it arrived at the Smithsonian.)
- Figure 1 on the left shows the vertical and horizontal projections of two lines as well as the intersection of the two lines projected onto the vertical plane.
- Figure 2 shows the angle of inclination of the line with the horizontal plane by rotating it down onto the horizontal plane.
- Figure 3 shows the angle of a line coming up through the horizontal plane with the vertical, again by rotating it onto the horizontal.
- Figure 4 shows the vertical projection of a line and the horizontal projection of its vertical component.
