true honey :)
Which constructions is impossible using only a compass and straightedge?
doubling the cube
Is it impossible to trisect any angle using only a compass and straightedge?
Yes, it is impossible to trisect any arbitrary angle using only a compass and straightedge. This was proven in the 19th century as part of the broader study of constructible numbers and geometric constructions. While some specific angles can be trisected through these methods, the general case cannot be solved with just a compass and straightedge.

True
Did the Greeks have no way of bisecting an angle because it is required a ruler in addition to a compass and straightedge?
The ancient Greeks were indeed limited in their geometric constructions to using only a compass and straightedge. While they developed methods for various constructions, angle bisection using just these tools is impossible for certain angles, such as a 60-degree angle, which leads to a 30-degree angle. This limitation is part of a broader set of problems in classical geometry that were proven to be impossible to solve with the restrictions they adhered to. Thus, the Greeks could not bisect all angles solely with a compass and straightedge.
Which of the following constructions were never accomplished by the Greeks with only a straightedge and compass?
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.
Can of the same constructions the Greeks performed only with straightedge and compass can be done using only a straightedge and tracing paper?
Yes, many constructions that the Greeks performed with a straightedge and compass can also be achieved using only a straightedge and tracing paper. Tracing paper allows for the overlay of shapes and angles, enabling the duplication and manipulation of geometric figures, which can facilitate constructions similar to those done with a compass. However, some specific tasks, such as constructing certain lengths or angles that are not easily representable on flat surfaces, may be more challenging without the precise circle-drawing capability of a compass. Overall, while the methods differ, the fundamental geometric principles remain applicable.
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.
Trisecting a line segment by using only a straightedge and compass was proven impossible by advanced algebra?
false
Was constructing a cube with double the volume of another cube using only a straightedge and compass was proven impossible by advanced algeba?
Yes, it has been proven impossible to construct a cube with double the volume of another cube using only a straightedge and compass. This problem, known as the "doubling the cube" or "Delian problem," was shown to be unattainable because it requires solving a cubic equation, which cannot be done with the limitations of classical geometric constructions. Specifically, the volume doubling corresponds to the need to construct the cube root of 2, which is not a constructible number.
Is it possible or impossible doubling the square using a compass and a straightedge?
Doubling the square, which involves constructing a square with double the area of a given square using only a compass and straightedge, is impossible. This problem, also known as the "duplicating the square," was proven impossible in ancient Greek geometry due to its connection with the solution of cubic equations. Specifically, it requires constructing lengths that are not constructible using those tools alone.
Using a straightedge and compass the ancient Greeks were able to construct many geometric objects.thing?
The ancient Greeks utilized a straightedge and compass to construct various geometric figures, including triangles, circles, and polygons. These tools allowed for precise constructions based on fundamental geometric principles, such as the ability to create bisectors, perpendiculars, and inscribed shapes. Notable constructions included the division of a line segment into equal parts and the construction of regular polygons, like the pentagon. However, certain problems, such as squaring the circle, were proven impossible with these tools alone.
Given only a compass in a straight edge grades were able to construct only regular polygons and circles thus leaving many constructions impossible to complete true or 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.
