Can you trisect a right angle into four equal parts using only a compass and a straight edge?
"Trisecting" is cutting into three equal parts, not four. Trisecting is impossible. Cutting into four equal parts is possible though, and trivial once you know how to bisect an angle.
Is a trisecting segment possible?
Yes, it is possible.
How Do you solve a cubic equation by trisecting an angle?
The classical problem of angle trisection cannot be solved. If it were possible, it would provide the solution to a cubic equation. (-but it isn't and it won't!)
What construction was never accomplished by the Greeks?
Doubling a cube Trisecting any angle
What Greek constructions were never accomplished with only a straightedge and a compass?
Doubling a cube and trisecting any angle

Is it possible to construct an angle with one fourth the measure of a given angle?
Sure - just bisect it twice.
Is it possible to bisect any given angle using only a straightedge and a compass?
no
