Extractions: And the Spectrum of Regular Polygons trisect an angle with just a straightedge and a compass. Naturally I had to try it. My modus operandi was to play around with known trisections; in particular, a circle with an inscribed hexagon and a trisected diameter. The diameter in the illustration below has been trisected with a hexagram ... also known as a Star of David image 1 Knowing that it is possible to draw a circle through any three non-collinear points, I saw the possibility of constructing two circles (one on each side of the inscribed hexagon) that would trisect the original circle and any arc whose chord coincides with the circle's diameter, as illustrated in image 2. image 2 In image 2, the hexagon divides the upper and lower semicircles into 3 equal parts. Segments were drawn linking the trisection points on the circle's circumference with the trisection points on the diameter. These segments have been bisected with perpendicular lines, which converge on points to the left and right. Using these points as centers, two circles have been drawn which appear to be perfectly positioned to trisect the three arcs (and their corresponding angles), which have been drawn inside the circle, to serve as examples. I see these arcs as part of a dynamic process: a single arc at three different moments in time. Imagine that the diameter is capable of expanding like a perfectly circular balloon. As it expands, its trisection points move further apart, but remain proportionally equidistant, as they follow the trisection paths marked by the two circles. At least, that was the theory.

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: Angle Trisection Angle trisection is the division of an arbitrary angle into three equal angles . It was one of the three geometric problems of antiquity for which solutions using only compass and straightedge were sought. The problem was algebraically proved impossible by Wantzel (1836). Although trisection is not possible for a general angle using a Greek construction, there are some specific angles, such as and radians ( and , respectively), which can be trisected. Furthermore, some angles are geometrically trisectable, but cannot be constructed in the first place, such as (Honsberger 1991). In addition, trisection of an arbitrary angle can be accomplished using a marked ruler (a Neusis construction ) as illustrated above (Courant and Robbins 1996). An angle can also be divided into three (or any whole number ) of equal parts using the quadratrix of Hippias or trisectrix An approximate trisection is described by Steinhaus (Wazewski 1945; Peterson 1983; Steinhaus 1999, p. 7). To construct this approximation of an angle having measure , first bisect and then trisect chord (left figure above). The desired approximation is then angle

Angle Trisection
The first method, Archimedes' trisection of an angle using a marked straightedge has been described on the Geometry Forum before by John Conway.
http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/forum/angtri/

Extractions: Up: Geometry Forum Articles Most people are familiar from high school geometry with compass and straightedge constructions. For instance I remember being taught how to bisect an angle, inscribe a square into a circle among other constructions. A few weeks ago I explained my job to a group of professors visiting the Geometry Center . I mentioned that I wrote articles on a newsgroup about geometry and that sometimes people write to me with geometry questions. For instance one person wrote asking whether it was possible to divide a line segment into any ratio, and also whether it was possible to trisect an angle. In response to the first question I explained how to find two-thirds of a line segment. I answered the second question by saying it was impossible to trisect an angle with a straightedge and a compass, and gave the person a reference to some modern algebra books as well as an article Evelyn Sander wrote about squaring the circle . One professor I told this story to replied by saying, "Bob it is possible to trisect an angle." Before I was able to respond to this shocking statement he added, "You just needed to use a MARKED straightedge and a compass." The professor was referring to Archimedes' construction for trisecting an angle with a marked straightedge and compass. When someone mentions angle trisection I immediately think of trying to trisect an angle via a compass and straightedge. Because this is impossible I rule out any serious discussion of the manner. Maybe I'm the only one with this flaw in thinking, but I believe many mathematicians make this same serious mistake.
Trisecting An Angle
Now this is exactly the curve needed to solve both versions of trisection of an angle given above and Nicomedes solved the problem with his curve.
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/HistTopics/Trisecting_an_angle.html

Extractions: Version for printing There are three classical problems in Greek mathematics which were extremely influential in the development of geometry. These problems were those of squaring the circle, doubling the cube and trisecting an angle. Although these are closely linked, we choose to examine them in separate articles. The present article studies the problem of trisecting an arbitrary angle. In some sense this is the least famous of the three problems. Certainly in ancient Greek times doubling of the cube was the most famous, then in more modern times the problem of squaring the circle became the more famous, especially among amateur mathematicians. The problem of trisecting an arbitrary angle, which we examine here, is the one for which I [EFR] have been sent the largest number of false proofs during my career. It is an easy task to tell that a 'proof' one has been sent 'showing' that the trisector of an arbitrary angle can be constructed using ruler and compasses must be incorrect since no such construction is possible. Of course knowing that a proof is incorrect and finding the error in it are two different matters and often the error is subtle and hard to find. There are a number of ways in which the problem of trisecting an angle differs from the other two classical Greek problems. Firstly it has no real history relating to the way that the problem first came to be studied. Secondly it is a problem of a rather different type. One cannot square any circle, nor can one double any cube. However, it is possible to trisect certain angles. For example there is a fairly straightforward method to trisect a right angle. For given the right angle

Extractions: Next: Which are the 23 Up: Famous Problems in Mathematics Previous: The Four Colour Theorem Theorem 4. The trisection of the angle by an unmarked ruler and compass alone is in general not possible. This problem, together with Doubling the Cube Constructing the regular Heptagon and Squaring the Circle were posed by the Greeks in antiquity, and remained open until modern times. 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 theta = 60 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.

Extractions: 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

Trisecting The Angle

Extractions: First-time Visitors: Please visit . Use "Back" to return here. I will respond to questions and comments as time permits, but if you want to take issue with any position expressed here, you first have to answer this question: What evidence would it take to prove your beliefs wrong? I simply will not reply to challenges that do not address this question. Refutability is one of the classic determinants of whether a theory can be called scientific. Moreover, I have found it to be a great general-purpose cut-through-the-crap question to determine whether somebody is interested in serious intellectual inquiry or just playing mind games. It's easy to criticize science for being "closed-minded". Are you open-minded enough to consider whether your ideas might be wrong? The ancient Greeks founded Western mathematics, but as ingenious as they were, they could not solve three problems: It was not until the 19th century that mathematicians showed that these problems could not be solved using the methods specified by the Greeks . Any good draftsman can do all these constructions accurate to any desired limits of accuracy - but not to absolute accuracy. The Greeks themselves invented ways to solve the first two exactly, using tools other than a straightedge and compass. But under the conditions the Greeks specified, the problems are impossible.

http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Extras/Pappus_trisection.html

Extractions: Treatise on Curves [unknown except for this reference] and by Philo of Tyana [unknown except for this reference] from the interweaving of plectoids and of other surfaces of every kind. These curves have many wonderful properties. More recent writers have indeed considered some of them worthy of more extended treatment, and one of the curves is called "the paradoxical curve" by Menelaus. Other curves of the same type are spirals, quadratrices, cochloids, and cissoids. Now it is considered a serious type of error for geometers to seek a solution to a plane problem by conics or linear curves and, in general, to seek a solution by a curve of the wrong type. Examples of this are to be found in the problem of the parabola in the fifth book of Apollonius's Conics, and in the use of a solid verging with respect to a circle in Archimedes' work on the spiral. For in the latter case it is possible without the use of anything solid to prove Archimedes' theorem, viz., that the circumference of the circle traced at the first turn is equal to the straight line drawn at right angles to the initial line and meeting the tangent to the spiral. In view of the existence of these different classes of problem, geometers of the past who sought by planes to solve the aforesaid problem of the trisection of an angle, which is by its nature a solid problem, were unable to succeed. For they were as yet unfamiliar with the conic sections and were baffled for that reason. But later with the help of the conics they trisected the angle using the following 'vergings' for the solution.
