We have four laws:

 

True thickness= outcrop width *sin (dip angle+  Angleregression)

(If the dip angel is opposite for slope of earth).

 

True thickness= outcrop width*sin (dip angel- Angleregression)

(If the dip angel is  same side  with slop of earth)

 

 

True thickness= outcrop width*sin (Angleregression)

(If the horizontal layers and surface of earth is regression)

 

 

True thickness= outcrop width*sin (dip angel)

(If dip layers and surface is horizontal)
