Describe foreshortening.
What will be an ideal response?
When a line in the side and top views is drawn in the same proportion as lines are in the front view, the object may appear to be distorted and longer than it actually is. To correct the distortion, the lines are drawn shorter than actual size so the sketch of the part looks balanced. This drafting technique is called foreshortening.
