Question

question 5 of 10

the ancient greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the historical geometric construction

The ancient Greeks established rules for geometric constructions using only an unmarked straightedge and a compass. Bisecting any given angle is one of the basic, classic constructions that can be successfully performed under these restrictions.

Verify the statement validity

Since angle bisection is a standard compass-and-straightedge construction (unlike angle trisection, which is generally impossible with these tools), the statement is true.

Answer:

• A. True (Correct answer)
• B. False
