Trisecting an angle


Yes, I know it can't be done with Euclidean tools, but that shouldn't be a problem for Cinderella.... Is it possible to measure an angle, calculate a third of it, and then construct an line with that angle? (Presumably this is all straightforward in Cindyscript, which I've only just begun to look into).

Hi,

yes, it's easy with CindyScript. Just add the script

d.angle=α0/3+c.angle

in the draw section to set the angle between lines d and c to one third of the measured angle α0.

(sorry that I did not answer earlier, we are busy preparing version 2.1 with some new, exciting features...)
