That specific question is named the Delian Problem, where supposedly, Apollo, the Greek god, had asked for his altar to be doubled in size to stop a plague going around. The builders only had a compass and straightedge, but they couldn't figure out how to double the volume. The reason they couldn't was because there was no way to construct multiples of $\sqrt[3]{2a}$ , which was what was needed to double the volume.

This problem is one called the impossible problems from antiquity, or problems the ancient Greeks could not solve with only a compass and a straightedge. Another example of one of these problems is how to trisect an angle.

When a point moves right on a coordinate plane,<br> what happens to its x-value?

lord [1]

Answer:

The coordinate plane is like a cross right? Just remember if you go right the x value is going into the positive direction, if you go up the y value is also going into the positive direction. And positive direction means the value will increase.

So (3,0), would be further left than (10,0). Or (0,5) would be higher than (0,2) on the graph.
