Which term derives from Latin words meaning equal measurements?

The term "isometric" is derived from the Greek roots "iso-" meaning equal, and "metron," meaning measure. This terminology refers to a method of visual representation in which scale is maintained equally along all axes, resulting in an image where the dimensions are proportionally correct. In isometric drawings, all three dimensions of an object can be represented in a single view without distortion, allowing for a clear and accurate portrayal of the object.

In the context of plumbing and technical drawings, isometric drawings are especially useful because they provide a way to visualize complex piping layouts, illustrating how different components will fit together in three-dimensional space while maintaining accurate measurements. This method is often employed because it shows how the pipework will actually look in a way that aids understanding and planning for installation.

The other options represent different concepts in drawing and measurement but do not share the same direct connection to the idea of equal measurements derived from their lexical roots.
