Talk:Tomahawk (geometry)

A fact from Tomahawk (geometry) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 September 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a tomahawk may be used to split an angle into three equal parts, despite the impossibility of doing so with compass and straightedge?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/September. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tomahawk (geometry).

Proof

How about an actual proof that this tomahawk actually trisects angles ?

How about a proof that if positioned correctly(and how it must be positioned) it will trisect an angle ?

How about an explanation of why translating that is not an euclidean construction ?

All of these lack to get a coherent good rigorous article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.26.49.179 (talk) 11:40, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested Changes

The "Tomahawk" (as mentioned in the references) is a geometric "implement" or "tool" rather than a geometric "shape".

The title and the content should be changed appropriately.

OK!

I really enjoyed this! Congratulations on our DYK! Amandajm (talk) 11:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
