    This green area is the true dip area so that is perpendicular to the strike of bed and so shows the maximum dip angle. other than 90 degree if you take any direction like the purple here shows apparent dip.

    Strike line is the intersection line of horizontal plane and bedding plane. The direction perpendicular (90°) to the strike gives the true dip (maximum dip) whereas any other direction gives the apparent dip. Apparent dip is always lower than the true dip amount. As you can see in the attached figure, line-1 is the strike line. Direction-2 is perpendicular to the strike (line-1) and is the true dip direction. Direction-3 is oblique to the strike line and dip measured in that direction will give apparent dip direction.
