How can you divide an angle into 3 equal angles? You may only use a straightedge and a compass to achieve this.

(This means : You have an angle A, you divide Angle A into 3 Angles B,C,D. And B=C=D=A/3)

Note: vohonam clarified that the problem actually only gives you a straightedge, not a ruler.

(In reply to re: The next problem after this... by friedlinguini)

ha! i forgot to put:
for non-zero integers for x,y,z
Oh, and n is an integer greater than 2.

so there! ;)
