The purpose of this paper is to reinterpret and visualize the trisection line construction of general angle in the Medieval Islam using conic sections. The geometry field in the current 2015 revised Mathematics curriculum deals mainly with the more contents of analytic geometry than logic geometry. This study investigated four trisecting problems shown by al-Haytham, Abu'l Jud, Al-Sijzī and Abū Sahl al-Kūhī in Medieval Islam as one of methods to achieve the harmony of analytic and logic geometry. In particular, we studied the above results by 3 steps(analysis, construction and proof) in order to reinterpret and visualize.
