Search the Site Investigations Algebra Graphing ... Additional Investigations It is a well-known fact that trisecting an angle with Greek construction rules is impossible. But this does not mean that one can not provide a construction, which approximates the trisection. Use a dynamic geometry software and a spreadsheet determine how well is the construction described below. Construction: Given an angle AOB, construct the bisection AOC, with OA = OC = OB. Then construct a trisection of BC such that BD = 2CD. Then the angle DOB is approximately the trisection of the angle AOB. Is it? Explain why or why not.

Home Ancient Greek Scientists AGRICULTURALISTS ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS MATHEMATICIAN NICOMEDES OF ALEXANDRIA (fl. c. 100 BC) Life Nicomedes lived in Alexandria and Pergamum, after Eratosthenes and before Geminus. His work is cited by Proclus, Pappus and Eutocius. Work He worked on the problem of the trisection of the angle (division of any angle into three equal parts). His solution, by construction using a special curve which he called a conchoid, is presented in his treatise on conchoids. "On conchoidal lines": An algebraic curve of the 4th degree, a conchoid is a plane curve generated by a line rotating about a fixed point crossing a fixed line not containing the fixed point. With the instrument he constructed to describe this line, Nicomedes succeeded in devising a mechanical solution to the problem of the trisection of the angle, by the use of an "inclination" or "verging", that is, a straight section so placed that having passed though a given point on one line it is intercepted at a given length by another line. Nicomedes also worked on the problem of the duplication of the cube, that is, the geometric solution of the cubic equation x³ = 2a³ (the Delian problem). He solved it by construction, using his conchoidal line.

Math 100 Projects Archimedes Trisection of the Angle Dr. Wilson 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 Math 100 Steve Wilson

Définitions Angles constructibles : l’angle de mesure ] est constructible si le point M situé sur le cercle de centre O et de rayon OI et tel que IOM= est constructible.

Comme l’angle de mesure /3 est constructible ( car cos /3 =1/2 ) , il suffit de montrer que l’angle de mesure /9 n’est pas constructible ; on utilise pour cela le résultat de Wantzel. On sait que x IR, cos 3x = 4 (cos x) – 3 cos x donc cos /3 est racine du polynôme 4 X – 3 X – 1/2 qui est irréductible dans IQ. Ainsi le nombre cos

HOME ASSIGNMENTS Explorations in Geometry Homework Go to Homework # 25. To be completed by Thursday, December 19 (to include in portfolio) There are two final scripts needed to investigate the similarities and differences between Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry: 1. construction of the hyperbolic circle with given center and passing through a given point, and 2. construction of an angle bisector. OPTIONAL PROBLEMS If you don't do these optional problems for circle and angle bisector construction, you may use the scripts on "hyperbolic_plane_scripts.gsp" loaded on the Reese Macs in order to investigate the following problems: (STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION) (Your investigation should include the use of the dynamic capability of Sketchpad to look at many cases; illustrate some of these cases, and describe your observations and the results of these investigations, along with what you conjecture to be true more generally.) a. The three angle bisectors of a triangle in Euclidean geometry always meet in a single point; what about in hyperbolic geometry? b. Construct a hyperbolic equilateral triangle.
