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 are some problems using a drawing program and not a compass and straight egde?
You might not understand angles and shapes as well with a drawing program, even though it requires a little bit more effort with a compass and straightedge. You would just create shapes without understanding how they were made or what the postulates and theorems and stuff mean. To sum it up, each have their own problems and advantages, but using a compass and a straightedge lets you see deeper into the way shapes and angles work :) ugh I hate using a compass and straightedge in geometry lol :)>
One can find an angle bisector using a compass and a straightedge construction or a straightedge and tracing paper construction?
