Complete missing outcrop problem Given A is upper limit of sand stone, B is the lower limit of the planes that are equal in distance and dip. Dip angle is 29 degrees.

Now I know that strike lines should go in height 400
But there are 3 points so how could that even be possible.
2 of these points are on strike line but what about the third?
I really don’t know how to approach this question
Also from dip angle I can easily find the distance from each strike line but that is for later
First step - draw a strike line where line A intersects the 400 m line.
Second step - you know that the sandstone layer is of equal thickness and dip, so you can draw a parallel line at the place with line B intersects the 400 m line. This will give you the thickness, as expressed on a horizontal surface. You know what the dip angle is, so getting the real thickness is simple trigonometry.
This should get you started.
