- Pages 96 and 97, second half of the proof of Theorem 4.7.7. The proof assumes \(S\) and \(T\) are on the same side of \(\overleftrightarrow{PQ}\).
If not, use Theorem 4.2.6 to construct a triangle congruent to \(\triangle PQT\) on the other side of \(\overleftrightarrow{PQ}\) and use it instead.
- Page 114, line 1. Change "the the" to "the".
- Page 135, line 23. Change "\(\angle BAD \cong \angle CDA\)" to "\(\angle BCD \cong \angle CDA\)".
