No, it is not possible to construct a cube of twice teh volume of a given cube using only a straightedge and a compass.
True APEX :)
true honey :)
doubling the cube
True
Squaring the circle, duplicating the cube, and trisecting an angle were constructions that were never accomplished by the Greeks with only a straightedge and compass. These are known as the three classical geometric problems that cannot be solved using only those tools.
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
True. Using only a compass and straightedge, it is possible to construct regular polygons and circles, but certain constructions, such as those requiring the trisection of an angle or the construction of a general angle, are impossible. This limitation arises from the fact that only certain lengths and angles can be constructed using these tools, leading to the conclusion that not all geometric problems can be solved with them.
Yes, a protractor can be used as a straightedge for geometric constructions, as it typically has a straight edge along one side. However, it is primarily designed for measuring angles, so while it can serve as a straightedge, using a dedicated straightedge might yield more precise results. When using a protractor as a straightedge, ensure that the edge is aligned accurately to maintain the integrity of the construction.
