👉 Dip math, also known as dip angle or dip slope, is a fundamental concept in trigonometry that measures the angle between a line (or plane) and a reference direction, typically the horizontal axis. It is used to describe how steep or inclined a surface is at a specific point, such as the angle of a roof or the slope of a road. The dip math formula, often expressed as \( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \), where \( \theta \) is the dip angle, \( \text{opposite} \) is the vertical change (rise) over the horizontal change (run), helps in calculating this angle. Understanding dip math is crucial for various applications, including civil engineering, architecture, and geotechnical analysis, where accurate slope calculations are essential for design and safety considerations.
