Square trisection is a geometric construction problem where the goal is to divide a given square into three regions of equal area using only a finite number of straightedge and compass constructions. However, square trisection is known to be impossible using these classical tools alone. This result is part of the broader context of straightedge-and-compass constructions in which certain tasks cannot be achieved due to the limitations imposed by arithmetic and algebraic properties.
