Torso Angle - Fast Torso Angle - Touring Torso angle is very dependent upon the cyclists choice of performance and comfort. A lower position is more aerodynamic as frontal surface area is reduced. 30° to 40° is a good compromise of performance and comfort but does rely on reasonably good flexibility to lower back and hamstrings. Torso Angle - Touring A more relaxed torso angle will take the pressure off the lower back, hamstrings and the neck and distribute loads from hands to seat. 40° to 50° is a suitable angle for longer distances where comfort is the priority over speed.

Inverse Trig Functions The inverse trigonometric functions sin-1(x), cos-1(x), and tan-1(x), are used to find the unknown measure of an angle of a right triangle when the side lengths are known Note the “-1” in this function is not an exponent. It is simply a notation that we use to tell us we are dealing with an inverse trig function. If we wanted a function to denote 1 over cosine we would use: We can also use the notation arcsin(x), arccos(x), and arctan(x) to denote an inverse trig function
Inverse Trig Functions To evaluate inverse trig remember that the following statements are equivalent: So, when we evaluate an inverse trig function we are asking “what angle, 𝜽, do we plug into the original trig function to get x ? “ Example In other words, what angle, 𝜽, do we need to input into cosine to get ? We can use our knowledge of special triangle or a calculator to solve this problem When using the inverse function on your calcular the output value (answer) is treated as the reference angle. This is because there is 2 possible answers, the calculator can only give us 1. Cosine is positive in quadrant I and IV so, and
Inverse Trig Functions Example Given , determine the measure of x, to the nearest tenth of a degree When evaluating a trig function in which the ratio is negative we will ignore the negative sign when determining the reference angle. The negative value will be accounted for when we determine the angle in standard position. ← use only positive numbers in this formula Note: ≈ means “approximately” Cosine is negative in quadrants II and III In Quadrant II: In Quadrant III: Therefor, x = 169.9° and x = 190.1°
