    Answer: Dip amount of axial plane = 80° (towards SE) Axial plane of the fold will be the bisector plane of two limbs. The angle between two limbs = 180 - (20+40) = 120 Bisector plane (axial plane) will make an angel of 120/2 (=60°) with the limbs Dip amount of the axial plane = 80° = Dip amount of Limb2 + 60°
