An angle Trisector divides an angle into three equal angles. If the angle is 'θ', the three angles made after trisecting will be 'θ/3'.
Problem: To Trisect a Right Angle ABC
1. Let us consider ∠ABC is right angle, B as vortex,
2. Take a compass and draw an arc cutting Horizontal and vertical lines at D and E as shown.
3. With same radious on compass from point E scribe an arc that cuts previously drawn arc at F, and from point D scribe an arc and it will cut the previously drawn arc at point G.
4. Then join the points BF, BG
5. These will form the trisector of the given right angle.
