If `theta_(1)` and `theta_(2)` be the apparent angles of dip observed in two verticle planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of dip `theta` is given by

A

`cot^(2) theta = cot^(2) theta_(1)+cot^(2) theta_(2)`

B

`tan^(2) theta= tan^(2) theta_(1) + tan^(2) theta_(2)`

C

`cot^(2) theta= cot^(2) theta_(1) -cot^(2)theta_(2)`

D

`tan^(2) theta=tan^(2) theta_(1)-tan^(2)theta_(2)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
