    I saw your comment on this question. Linear distance means the base line (as per your Diagram). You can't calculate Sin(dip)= 200/100 =2; (because it is not possible to get the value of Sine function greater than 1)

    Answer: Dip= 63.435° tan(dip) = Vertical Interval / Horizontal equivalent Given, Vertical Interval = 400m - 200m = 200m Horizontal equivalent = 100m tan(dip) = 200m/100m Dip = arctan(2) = 63.435°
