Chapter 10, Problem 63

(choose chapter or problem)

Angles play an important role in custom bikes that are properly fitted to the biking needs of cyclists. One of the angles to help find the perfect fit is called the hip angle. The figure indicates that the hip angle is created when you’re sitting on the bike, gripping the handlebars, and your leg is fully extended. Your hip is the vertex, with one ray extending to your shoulder and the other ray extending to the front-bottom of your foot.

               

The table indicates hip angles for various biking needs. Use this information to pedal through Exercises 60–63.

A racer who had an \(89^{\circ}\) hip angle decides to switch to mountain biking. What is the minimum difference in hip angle for the two types of biking?
