The Greeks were able to construct a cube with double the volume of another cube using only a straightedge and compass?
false
Why were attempts to square the circle and duplicate the cube by simple geometrical methods important to the field of mathematics?
About 2400 BCE the Greeks tried to construct a square that had the same area as a circle, using only a straightedge and compasses. They also tried to construct a cube having twice the volume of a given cube, with the same tools. The failure of these attempts led mathematicians to realise that the cube root of two and the square root of pi are both irrational. Pi is not only irrational, but also transcendental. This is an important difference because the cube root of two can be constructed by geometrical methods that are more complex than just straightedge and compasses, while pi can not be constructed by any geometrical method involving only a finite number of steps. It took more than two thousand years from the death of Hippocrates of Chios (not to be confused with Hippocrates the physician) before mathematicians began to get a real grip on irrational and transcendental numbers. As is so often the case in Mathematics and Science, the long search led to many, many other discoveries along the way.
What is the weight of a ball having density 2.86 cm and 12.6 cm volume?
It is not possible to answer the question because: density is not measured in cmvolume is not measured in cmwhile mass = density*volume, weight in not directly related to density.It is impossible to guess the correct units for density and volume.

How many 1cm cubes would it take to construct a cube that is 4cm on edge?
Volume of 1 cm cube = 1 cubic cm (cc) Volume of 4 cm cube = 4*4*4 = 64 cc So number of unit cubes required = 64
What is the formula for height of cuboid?
The answer depends on what information you have. One possible answer is height = volume divided by base area.

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.

false
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.

false. Apex = true! it was impossible! ^^^ YOU ARE WRONNGG! Apex= False. Person who says true just costed me a wrong answer!! Youre welcome for who ever else needs this question CORRECT! Which if you didnt catch it the first time its FALSE.
How do you find the volume of a circle?
A circle has no volume. It is a planar figure and is flat, and it has no thickness. A circle does not have any thinkness just as a plane, the construct on which it is drawn, has no thickness.
