What is the difference between a math straight edge and a math ruler?
A ruler has markings, a straight edge does not. In "straight edge and compass" constructions, you are not allowed to mark the straight edge. Things that are impossible using only a straight edge and compass are possible if markings are allowed (for example, it's possible to trisect an angle using a marked straight edge).
Is it not possible to bisect the angle in a rectangle?
Any angle can be bisected using a compass and a straight edge.
It is not possible to trisect any angle using only a compass and straight edge?
It is indeed impossible to trisect an angle using only a [pair of] compass[es] and a straight edge.It is in fact possible:1) measure the angle2) divide this measure by three3) measure the angle found in part (2) inward from the outer edge of the main angle4) use the straight edge to draw the trisectorsit is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of job requires using a compass or straight edge?
being an archetect requires a compass, straight edge and many other tools
One can draw a geometric figure using?
Geometric figures can be drawn using a compass and a straight edge. This is commonly known as ruler and compass construction.
