Is it possible to trisect any angle using only a compass and straightedge?
True
Is it possible to trisect any given angle using a straightedge and compass?
No, and the proof was provided by Wantzel in 1837.
Is it possible to trisect a right angle using only straightedge and compass?
Yes and the trisections will form 4 angles of 22.5

That's a classic problem that's been around for a very long time.It's been proven that it's not possible to trisect any angle in generalwith those tools, although there are a few specific angles, like aright angle, for which it can be done.

no
Is it possible to construct an angle of 22.5 degrees using a compass and a straightedge?
Yes
It is possible to bisect any given angle using only a straightedge and a compass?
Yes
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.
It is possible to trisect any angle using only a compass and stightedge?
Yes! It is! I'm not perfectly sure how, but my father has, in fact, done this.
Which tools are necessary to construct a angle bisector?
A compass and a straightedge
