Trisecting a line segment by using only a straightedge and compass was proven impossible by advanced algebra.?
You don't need advanced algebra to prove that it is impossible to trisect a line segment using only a straight edge and a compass: anyone knows that you will also need a pencil! And one you have that then there are plenty of easy ways to do it.
Is it possible to construct a perpendicular bisector to any given line segment using only a straightedge and a compass?
Yes, but you will also need a pen or pencil. Also, if the line segment is very long (eg 5 metres) you may have difficulty in finding a compass that will do the trick!
