Is doubling a cube possible with a straightedge and compass?
Doubling a cube, also known as the problem of the Delian cube, is not possible using only a straightedge and compass. This task involves constructing a cube with a volume twice that of a given cube, which requires finding the length of the edge of the new cube to be the cube root of 2. However, this length cannot be constructed using those tools, as it is not a constructible number. This was proven in the 19th century through the field of algebraic geometry.

How do you use the gambling die in backgammon?
The die you are referring to is actually called a 'doubling cube'; it is one way in which the stakes can be raised in a backgammon match. The use of the doubling cube only makes sense when a backgammon match is played to more than one game. The use of a doubling cube does not necessarily mean that a backgammon match is being played for money.
How does the doubling cube work in backgammon and what is its significance in the game?
In backgammon, the doubling cube is a special die that allows players to increase the stakes of the game. It starts at 1 and can be doubled by the player offering it to their opponent. The significance of the doubling cube is that it adds a strategic element to the game, as players must decide when to use it to increase the potential rewards or when to decline the offer to avoid higher losses.
What construction was never accomplished by the Greeks?
Doubling a cube Trisecting any angle
Is it possible to make any number to one decimal place by doubling or near doubling?
no
What is the point of doubling a cube?
No point, it has been proved impossible many, many years ago.
