Squaring the circle, duplicating the cube, and trisecting an angle were constructions that were never accomplished by the Greeks with only a straightedge and compass. These are known as the three classical geometric problems that cannot be solved using only those tools.

No, the ancient Greeks did not construct fractals in the modern sense using compass and straightedge constructions. While they explored geometric shapes and patterns, the concept of fractals—self-similar patterns at various scales—was not formally recognized until the 20th century. Fractals are a mathematical concept that emerged from the work of mathematicians like Benoit Mandelbrot in the late 20th century, long after the time of the ancient Greeks.
false apex The Greeks used a straightedge and a compass
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.
