Answer:

The GIVEN statement is a FALSE statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greek mathematicians BELIEVED that any construction could be done by straightedge and a compass but when they actually tried to construct they observed that some polygons were CONSTRUCTED but most of them were not.

Later on , In algebra it was observed that:

  • A length is constructible if and only if it is a constructible number.

  • An angle could be constructible if it's cosine is a constructible number.
