The easiest way to make a sphere is to do what?
- A.
Extrude
- B.
Spline
- C.
Revolve
- D.
Fillet
Correct Answer
C. RevolveExplanation
To make a sphere, the easiest way is to use the revolve function. Revolving a 2D shape around an axis creates a symmetrical 3D object, such as a sphere. This process involves selecting a closed shape, like a circle, and specifying an axis of rotation. The software then generates a sphere by rotating the shape 360 degrees around the axis, creating a smooth and perfectly round object. Extruding, splining, or filleting would not result in a sphere shape as easily as the revolve function.Rate this question:

- B.
You must share your ideas with the team, allowing every team member to share their thoughts
- C.
You often become confused and that makes the room spin
- D.
You may have to go back and redo a step at any point in the process
Correct Answer
D. You may have to go back and redo a step at any point in the processExplanation
The design process is thought of as circular because it is not a linear process where each step is completed once and then the design is finalized. Instead, it is a continuous and iterative process where designers may have to revisit and redo certain steps multiple times. This is because new information, feedback, or ideas may arise throughout the process, requiring adjustments and refinements to be made. The circular nature of the design process allows for flexibility and improvement, ensuring that the final design meets the desired objectives.Rate this question:

True or False: the diameter of a circle is half the size of the radius.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the diameter of a circle is actually twice the size of the radius. The diameter is a straight line that passes through the center of the circle and touches two points on the circumference. In contrast, the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference. Therefore, the diameter is always larger than the radius.Rate this question:
