Many of the same constructions the Greeks performed only with straightedge and compass can be done using only a straightedge and tracing paper?
True
One can find an angle bisector using a compass and straightedge construction or a straightedge and tracing paper construction?
true
Is it possible to construct a cube of twice the volume of the given cube using only a straightedge and compass?
No, it is not possible to construct a cube of twice teh volume of a given cube using only a straightedge and a compass.

Which constructions is impossible using only a compass and straightedge?
doubling the cube
Many of the same constructions the Greeks performed only with straightedge and compass can be done using only a straightedge and tracing paper?
True
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.
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
