You are drilling an oil/gas exploratory well on level ground in West Texas. Your target reservoir horizon in the deep subsurface is dipping 45° and, given the fact that your well has been drilled vertically "true and straight," you ended up drilling 375 ft. of the reservoir unit. What is its true thickness? Make a sketch first and show all your work.
