The ancient Greeks utilized a straightedge and compass to construct various geometric figures, including triangles, circles, and polygons. These tools allowed for precise constructions based on fundamental geometric principles, such as the ability to create bisectors, perpendiculars, and inscribed shapes. Notable constructions included the division of a line segment into equal parts and the construction of regular polygons, like the pentagon. However, certain problems, such as squaring the circle, were proven impossible with these tools alone.
False. It is not possible to trisect any arbitrary angle using only a compass and straightedge, as proven by Pierre Wantzel in 1837. While some specific angles can be trisected using these tools, the general case of angle trisection is one of the classic problems of ancient geometry that cannot be solved with these methods.

false apex The Greeks used a straightedge and a compass
FALSE
Maybe, but a straight edge and a pair of compasses would have probably been used to construct a perpendicular line bisector for a given line segment.

To construct pyramids; the pyramids were constructed in Ancient Egypt.
Its true just got it wrong
to construct (using a compass and straight-edge) a square with the same area as a given circle using only a finite number of steps. "Squaring the circle" was an ancient problem that has been proved impossible to do.
Their role was to construct the pyramids
