| In the same work Pappus writes about how the problem of trisecting an angle was solved by Apollonius using conics. |
| He gave geometrical solutions to doubling a cube and trisecting an angle in this book. |
| The fruits externally display several unique characters within Arecaceae, such as the furrowed surface and the three striations trisecting the fruit into equal areas. |
| He also considered the equation associated with the problem of trisecting an angle, namely a cubic equation. |
| Like so many curves it was studied to provide a solution to one of the ancient Greek problems, this one is in relation to the problem of trisecting an angle. |
| It was a favourite with 17 Century mathematicians and could be used, as Nicomedes had intended, to solve the problems of duplicating the cube and trisecting an angle. |
