    1. As you that strike direction is perpendicular to the true dip direction, the possible relation between those two can be expressed as: True dip direction = Strike direction + 90° 2. The relationship between true dip and apparent dip is expressed as: tan(apparent dip amount) = tan(true dip amount) × cos(angle between true dip direction and apparent dip direction)

    Strike is bidirectional , Dip is unidirectional. True dip direction is always perpendicular to strike direction. Apparent dip can have angle between 89- 0 with the strike. Apply right hand rule or clock wise method to know the dip direction if strike direction is given.
