Which of these constructions is impossible using only a compass and straightedge-?
Constructions that are impossible using only a compass and straightedge include Trisecting an angle Squaring a circle Doubling a cube

True
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.
