1. Angle Trisection
   Angle Trisection. Most people are familiar from high school geometry with compass and straightedge constructions.

2. Trisection Of An Angle
   I read your article on angle trisection. You seem intelligent enough, We havea proof that angle trisection (using certain simple tools) cannot be done.

   Extractions: Go to my home page Under construction (just kidding, sort of). This page is divided into seven parts: Part I - Possible vs. Impossible In Plane Geometry, constructions are done with compasses (for drawing circles and arcs, and duplicating lengths, sometime called "a compass") and straightedge (without marks on it, for drawing straight line segments through two points). See Geometric Constructions . With these tools (see the diagram), an amazing number of things can be done. But, it is fairly well known that it is impossible to trisect (divide into three equal parts) a general angle, using these tools. Another way to say this is that a general arc cannot be trisected. The public and the newspapers seem to think that this means that mathematicians don't know how to trisect an angle; well they don't, not with these tools. But they can estimate a trisection to any accuracy that you want. What can be done with these tools? Given a length

   Extractions: Go to my home page It interactively demonstrates the actual trisection of an angle, apparently invented by C. A. Laisant in 1875. Move the bright red dot in order to change the angle. That dot is a hinge, as are the other red dots that far from the vertex. The two red dots farthest from the vertex are hinges for the short bars, but slide along the angle trisectors. The whole device is just a couple of parallelograms and a couple diagonals. Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella). We cannot use a pair of compasses and a straightedge to trisect a general angle. That has been proven. But we can make other tools (such as the device simulated here) to trisect such an angle. In fact, we can use a pair of compasses and a straightedge to make this device. All that this device does is triple the smallest angle. The above Java interactive demonstration was created with Cinderella (a geometry program).

The solution to all of them is rather inelegant from a geometric perspective. No geometric proof has been offered [check?], however, a very clever solution was found using fairly basic results from extension fields and modern algebra. It turns out that trisecting the angle is equivalent to solving a cubic equation. Constructions with ruler and compass may only compute the solution of a limited set of such equations, even when restricted to integer coefficients. In particular, the equation for degrees cannot be solved by ruler and compass and thus the trisection of the angle is not possible. It is possible to trisect an angle using a compass and a ruler marked in 2 places. Suppose X is a point on the unit circle such that is the angle we would like to ``trisect''. Draw a line

    Extractions: Essays Poetry Pictures Schoolwork ... More I wrote this a couple years ago while I was taking geometry. I know it is not precise, but it is nice to see. At last! I have proved the trisection of an angle using successive approximations! This is set up for a graphical browser. If you don't have a graphical browser, you MAY be able to follow it, but it would be a good idea to download the picture. If you wish to be more accurate, split the arc into 6 segments, then 9, etc. Then take the endpoint of the segment one third the distance from the midpoint (with 3 segments it would be the segment next to the midpoint, with 6 the second segment from the midpoint, etc.) and connect it to the vertex. Congratulations! You have just trisected an angle using successive approximations. The exactness depends on how many segments you split the arc into. Back to my homepage

The three problems are: (1) the duplication of the cube, also known as the Delian problem because it is said to have originated with the task of constructing a cubical altar at Delos having twice the volume of the original cubical altar; (2) the trisection of an arbitrary angle; (3) the squaring, or quadrature, of the circle, i.
