On Impossible Figures [or On Evans' (Most) Impossible Triangle] Regardless of the type or number of arguments that can be leveled at a demonstration of the possibility of trisecting the angle, a triangle composed of three identical parts constructed using a straight edge and a pair of compasses alone (by, for instance, constructing a triangle T and then copying it to the left and right) must surely be exactly what a successfully trisected general angle looks like. In can be difficult to understand how a geometric figure producible on a piece of paper is impossible to produce.
