Additional problems for HW #9

 
  1. In Proposition 1.5.8, there are a few errors. First, in the statement it should say "Every nonstraight angle has a unique bisector" (thanks to Nick for noticing this). Second, in the second sentence of the proof, it should say angle BAD' ~ angle C'AD' (i.e., D' instead of D). In addition to the above, there is one more error. Find it, and then fix the proof. (Challenge: there are two ways to fix the proof; can you find both?)
