Answer:

The correct answer is True.

That is, it is impossible according to the mathematical proof put forward by Pierre Wantzel in 1837, to trisect a line segment by using only a straight edge and a compass.

What is possible however is the trisection of a right angle.  

It is also possible to trisection other arbitrary angles using other tools besides a straight edge and a compass.

<em>Trisection</em> refers to the division of a quantity or a number into three equal parts. <em>Angle trisection</em> refers to the construction of an angle equal to three arbitrary angles that are equal to each other.

Cheers!
