Doubling a cube and trisecting any angle
The ancient Greeks famously attempted to solve three classical problems using only a straightedge and compass: squaring the circle, doubling the cube, and trisecting an angle. Squaring the circle involves constructing a square with the same area as a given circle, which was proven impossible due to the transcendental nature of π. Doubling the cube and trisecting an angle also turned out to be impossible with those tools, as they require solutions that involve cube roots and specific angles that cannot be achieved through simple constructions.
Although Athenians were Greeks, not all Greeks were Athenians.
The five tools that enabled the Greeks to utilize the five basic postulates of Euclidean geometry are the straightedge, compass, ruler, protractor, and a set square. The straightedge was used for drawing straight lines, while the compass allowed for the construction of circles and arcs. The ruler helped measure lengths, and the protractor was essential for measuring angles. The set square facilitated the construction of right angles and parallel lines, supporting the geometric principles established by Euclid.

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.
The Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, The Forbidden City, The Post office Tower, The Eddystone Light, The Taj Mahal, the Pantheon, The Empire state Building are just a few of the millions of constructions that were NOT accomplished by the Greeks.
The Greeks never lived in the u.s.
A straightedge and compass.
Construction in stone.
Ship construction, temples, war machines, 'engines' and many more.
the romans gave him honors he never earned form the greeks
because no construction literally means no buildings and houses and rulers are just nah
Saws, chain saws,cutting tools etc.
No, that has never been accomplished.
