Is it possible to trisect any angle using a compass and straightedge?
True
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

How do you draw an angle of 20 degrees with a compass and a ruler?
to construct an angle of 20 degrees all you have to do is to trisect an angle of 60degrees
Is it possible to trisect any given angle using only straightedge and a compass?
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.
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.)

Yes! It is! I'm not perfectly sure how, but my father has, in fact, done this.
