Final answer:

Trisecting a line segment using a straightedge and compass is proven impossible due to advanced algebraic concepts.


Explanation:

Trisecting a line segment by using only a straightedge and compass was proven impossible due to advanced algebraic concepts.

Geometry constructions rely on certain axioms, and the

theorems based on them determine the limitations in geometric constructions using only a straightedge and compass.

These limitations highlight the difference between what can be achieved with a compass alone versus with a transferer of segments and straightedge.
