Polly was speeding on her way home to Atlanta and received a super speeder ticket! The speed limit was 55 miles per hour and for each mile an hour over the speed limit, she was charged $24. Then, she had to pay an extra $200 on top of that. The total cost of her ticket was $584. How fast was she going?

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?
