If \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) be the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of \(\operatorname{dip} \theta\) is given by
- A \(\cot ^2 \theta=\cot ^2 \theta_1+\cot ^2 \theta_2\)
- B \(\tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \theta_1+\tan ^2 \theta_2\)
- C \(\cot ^2 \theta=\cot ^2 \theta_1-\cot ^2 \theta_2\)
- D \(\tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \theta_1-\tan ^2 \theta_2\)
