Question 2:
Write the single matrix equation to perform
the complete data transformation from
x, y,
z
to
x", y', z'.
Show the matrix equation in
terms of an azimuth angle (α) and dip angle
(β) and in numeric form. Deine your terms
and comment.
Question 3:
A vertical drillhole intersects an apparent
thickness of 11.5 m. What is the true thick-
ness measured perpendicular to the deposit?
Describe your methodology and comment.
