    The given statement is a FALSE statement.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ancient Greek mathematicians believed that any construction could be done by straightedge and a compass but when they actually tried to construct they observed that some polygons were constructed but most of them were not.

    Later on, In algebra it was observed that:

    A length is constructible if and only if it is a constructible number. An angle could be constructible if it's cosine is a constructible number. A number is constructible if it contain four basic arithmetic operation.
