Dinostratus' theorem

Arbitrary points on Hippias' trisectrix itself however cannot be constructed by circle and compass alone but only a dense subset. In particular it is not possible to construct the exact point where the trisectrix meets the edge of the square. For this reason Dinostratus' approach is not considered a

The theorem states that Hippias' trisectrix divides one of the sides of its associated square in a ratio of
