Is it true that to trisect a right angle you must first construct an equilateral triangle?
how many lines of symmetry does a regular polygon with 32 sides have
Can you trisect a right angle?
Yes and each of the 3 angles will be 30 degrees.
What happens when you trisect an angle?
You get three angles that are each one third of the original angle. Note that it is impossible to give a general procedure to trisect any angle by using compasses and straight edge alone. There are special cases which are possible, eg a right angle (90°).
Is it possible to trisect a right angle using only straightedge and compass?
Yes and the trisections will form 4 angles of 22.5
What is used to draw right angles?
I generally use a pencil and ruler. To construct the right angle to draw it I also use compasses. To measure the right angle to draw it I also use a protractor.

Right
When you trisect a right angle you first construct what kind of triangle?
To trisect a right angle form an equilateral triangle with one vertex at the right angle and then bisect that angle of the equilateral triangle. (It is impossible to trisect a general angle using only compass and straight edge - the right angle is a specific exception.)
What triangle do you need to construct in order to trisect a right angle?
An equilateral triangle.

equilateral * * * * * * * No its right. Apex is stupid in ways no one can explain so yeah...

If I have an answer to the trisect any angle geometry question how can I discover if I am right or wrong?
First things first, the actual statement isn't "you can't trisect an angle" but rather "you can't trisect one with only a compass and straightedge." Some angles can be easily trisected--a 90-degree angle trisects into 30-degree segments-but to do it you need a protractor. Anyway, to check your work measure the angle you trisected and divide by three. If your trisections match, you got it right.

What is construct angle 90?
An angle of 90 degrees is a right angle when perpendicular lines intersect each other.
How do you construct 45 degrees angle?
An angle of 45 degrees can be constructed by bisecting a right angle with a pair of compasses and a straight edge or merely using a protractor.

I generally use a pencil and ruler. To construct the right angle to draw it I also use compasses. To measure the right angle to draw it I also use a protractor.
