60 60 boys at a summer camp were asked to complete a survey about their favorite outdoor activity. 18 18 boys chose biking and 29 29 boys chose fishing. the remaining boys did not complete the survey. which expression gives the percent of survey participants who chose fishing?

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?

Danny draws a transversal, t, on two parallel lines ab and cd, as shown below: he makes the following table to prove that the alternate interior angles are equal: which is the missing justification? (6 points) corresponding angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are supplementary. corresponding angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent. co-interior angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent. co-exterior angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent.
