The inner curve of an arch is called intrados.

The inner surface of an arch is called soffit.

Vicky said:   7 years ago
The intrados is a line of the curve of the inner surface, while the soffit is an inner surface.

So, the answer is correct.

Deep said:   7 years ago
The distinction between soffit and intrados is that the intrados is a line, while the soffit is a surface.

Mirwais said:   7 years ago
