Demonstration Of The Archimedes' Solution To The Trisection Problem
angle trisection by Archimedes of Syracuse (circa 287 212 BC). Hi Alex. The solutionfor the angle trisection can be presented in a more straightforward way.
http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/archi.shtml

Extractions: (circa 287 - 212 B.C.) Archimedes of Syracuse is popularily known for the law he discovered on occasion of taking his bath . "Eurika" he exclaimed and made it into the history. (Along with Newton and Gauss he is counted among the greatest mathematicians of all times. As an engineer he frustrated numerous attempts by the Romans to capture the city of Syracuse.) The problem of constructing an angle equal to the one third of the given one has been pondered since the times of antiquity. Probably to make the notion of 'geometric construction' more exciting the Ancient Greeks have restricted the allowed operations to using a straightedge and a compass. It's thus specifically forbidden to use a ruler for the sake of measurement. Three famous construction problems lingered until early 19th century when it was shown that it's impossible to solve them with the help of only a straightedge and a compass. The three problems are: to trisect a given angle, to double a cube, and to square a circle . However, one illicit solution that has been found in the works of Archimedes is demonstrated below.
Trisecting The Angle
Why Trisecting the angle is Impossible. One of the major problems people have withangle trisection is the very idea that something can be proven impossible.

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.

Extractions: The angle at A is one third of the central angle. This construction is Archimedes' trisection of the angle by compass and straightedge. One thing which makes this construction remarkable is that in 1832, the French mathematician Evariste Galois proved that it was impossible to trisect an angle with a compass and straightedge. Every year, Mathematics Department chairs get trisections of the angle with compass and straightedge, and they throw them in the wastebasket because it is very well known that Galois proved that it can't be done. In fact, Galois' proof is more well known than Archimedes' construction. Whenever someone proves that something can't be done, one should examine the proof for unconscious, limiting assumptions. and this construction can be done using only a compass and a straightedge. I have found that it comes out about as accurately as any of my other compass and straightedge constructions. top

Il sintéressa à la poésie, à la Grammaire, à lHistoire, à la Politique, à la Musique, à la Sculpture, à lArchitecture, aux Mathématiques et à lAstronomie ainsi que le faisait tout bon « penseur » à son époque. Platon qui apparemment ne lappréciait pas, le décrit comme un personnage vaniteux, arrogant et vantard, nayant que des connaissances superficielles dans les nombreux domaines quil se flattait de connaître. Hippias se disait capable dimproviser un discours sur nimporte quel sujet. Il écrivit des poésies, des épopées, des tragédies et toutes sortes duvres en prose. Il maîtrisait parfaitement toutes les techniques du calcul, connaissait la Géométrie, lAstronomie, lHarmonie musicale et la Rhétorique. Il possédait surtout une mémoire prodigieuse quil cultivait sans cesse. A la fin de sa vie, il était encore capable de réciter cinquante noms dans lordre où il les avait entendus une seule fois.

Extractions: Geometry students can trisect angles with the proper tools. Instead of doing a construction involving a straight-edge and compass, build a tomahawk! I have used the following activity as a research assignment for individual geometry students. I suspect it could be used equally well as a classroom activity. If you try it, please let me know how it works out! It is an often stated premise that it is impossible to trisect an angle. This is a vague (and inaccurate) restatement of a mathematical truth. First, it should be noted that the key phrase "with a straight-edge and compass" is missing from the statement. Second, some angles (such as a ninety degree angle) can be trisected with a straight-edge and compass.

June 26, 1997 angle trisection with a Carpenter s Square. By Rick Peterson. Findpoint R bisecting PQ (so PR = w). Then rays BP and BR trisect angle ABC.

Extractions: A solution to the By Rick Peterson (If you can read these words, you're only seeing a captured image, not the real java applet! You need a browser that deals with java to move the points.) If your Web browser supports Java applets, you can drag the red points to change the figure. Choose an angle by moving A, then slide point P until point Q is on AB, and angle ABC will be trisected. The construction works! Of course, an ancient Greek geometer would say, "You're cheating! You aren't using just a compass and straightedge!" But a carpenter, even an ancient Greek one, would surely say, "So what? It works!" Theorem: Given any angle ABC, it can be trisected using a carpenter's square (CS) as follows: Construct DE parallel to BC and distance w (the width of the arm of the CS) from it. Place the CS so that (1) the outer corner P is on DE, (2) B is on the inner edge of the CS, (3) the distance PQ is 2 w, where Q is the intersection of the other outer edge of the CS with AB. Find point R bisecting PQ (so PR = w). Then rays BP and BR trisect angle ABC.

Extractions: I.8 Therefore the given rectilinear angle BAC is bisected by the straight line AF. Q.E.F. Construction steps When using a compass and a straightedge to perform this construction, three circles and the final bisecting line need to be drawn. One circle with center A and radius AD is needed to determine the point E. The other two circles with centers at D and E and common radius DE intersect to give the point F. The sides of the equilateral triangle aren't needed for the construction. There is an alternate construction where the circles centered at D and E have a different radius, namely
Euclid's Elements, Book I, Postulate 2
Suppose the angle ABC is to be trisected. The ancient Greek geometers believed thatangle trisection required tools beyond those given in Euclid s postulates.
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/bookI/post2.html

Extractions: Postulate 2 To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line. Here we have the second ability of a straightedge, namely, to extend a given line AB to CD. This postulate does not say how far a line can be extended. Sometimes it is used so that the extension equals some other line. Other times it is extended arbitrarily far. As with the first postulate, it is implicitly assumed in the books on plane geometry that when a line is extended, it remains in the plane of discussion. The first proposition on solid geometry, proposition XI.1 , claims that line can't be only partly in a plane. The central step in the proof of that proposition is to show that a line cannot be extended in two ways, that is, there is only one continuation of a line. The proof is hardly convincing. Rather, this postulate should include a clause to that effect. Other uses of a straightedge can be imagined. For instance, it might be marked at two points on it, then fit into a diagram so that the two points fall on two lines, perhaps curved. This operation is an example of "neusis" or "verging" where lines are adjusted to fit the diagram. For instance, Archimedes, who lived in the century after Euclid, used neusis in several constructions in his work On Spirals.
