Answer:

Parallelogram

Explanation:

When drawing circles in isometric sketches, the circles appear as an ellipse. To draw an ellipse that represents a circle in isometric sketch, use the following steps:

  1. Draw a square bounding box: locate the center of the circle and then draw four radial points from the center. Next, draw the bounding box (it passes through the four radial points).
  2. Draw to long arcs by place the tip of the compass each of the opposite bounding box edge and joining two of the radial points
  3. Draw the short arcs using the center of the box
