No, because a cube is a 3 dimensional shape but yes if it is in the shape of a 2 dimensional square.

Constructing a cube with double the volume of another cube using only a straightedge and compass was proven possible by advanced algebra.?
No, it is not. In 1837, the French mathematician, Pierre Laurent Wantzel, proved that it was impossible to do so using only compass and straightedge.
Is it possible to construct a cube of twice the volume of a giving cube only using a straightedge and compass?
No, it is not and in 1837 Pierre Wantzel proved this to be the case.
What Greek constructions were never accomplished with only a straightedge and a compass?
Doubling a cube and trisecting any angle
Is it possible to double a cube using a straight edge and compass?
No. This is known to be impossible. For more information, including a proof, check the Wikipedia article on "doubling the cube".
Who wrote the 3 construction problems of antiquity?
The three problems were: * To construct a square with area equal to a given circle ("squaring the circle"). * Given a cube, to construct the edge length of another cube which would have double the volume of the given cube ("duplicating the cube") * Given an arbitrary angle, to construct an angle one third that of the given angle ("angle trisection"). These problems were to be solved using compass and unmarked straight-edge only. It is apparently not known who first proposed these problems. Two of them (squaring the circle and angle trisection) date to at least 100 years before Euclid. The problem of duplicating the cube also predates Euclid, though maybe not by 100 years. In the 19th century, all three problems were shown to be impossible with the restriction to compass and straight-edge. (Despite this, people persist in trying, but they have to be classified as cranks.) Even in ancient times, methods of solution were given, but they used more than just a compass and straight-edge.
