    Answer: phi is the angle between true dip and apparent dip direction. Here in this question, true dip direction is towards N and the direction in which apparent dip is asked is on 180° Plane (N-S section). Since the bed has the true dip direction is same as the section in which apparent dip has been asked; the apparent dip in that section will be same as that of true dip. In this question the angle "phi" is 180°-180°= 0°. Using formula, tan(alpha)=tan(theta) × cos(phi) Since, phi=0°, so cos(phi)=1 i.e., tan(alpha)=tan(theta) i.e., apparent dip is same as that of true dip.
