"Pt 3: Here's how to calculate the hip backing angle without using trig. I know, it's a bit much 🤔, but we will go over how to simplify this with trig in part 4.
Note: calculating the backing angle without trig will require the hip drop value first (check out the previous video/part 2 for how to calculate that). I'm using that same value in this video.
1️⃣ Enter the hip drop value and push [DIAG]
2️⃣ Enter the hip plumb angle and push [PITCH]⚠️
3️⃣ Push [RUN], then [=] [RISE]
4️⃣ Enter half the thickness of the hip and push [RUN]
5️⃣ Finally, push [PITCH] to display the backing angle
⚠️ The hip plumb angle can be found separately by entering the pitch and run, then pushing [HIP/V] twice."
