first draw your baseline, then set your compasses to say twice that length, then draw a circle of the same radius from each end of the baseline, use either intersection as the apex of your isosceles triangle.

How do you find out a ninety degree angle without a protractor?

Use a "three four five" triangle. Having one leg measure exactly three inches, the other leg exactly four inches, and the hypotenuse measure exactly five inches will yield a ninety degree angle. If you are drawing out the triangle, it may be easier to measure a three inch line using a straightedge and then use a compass to find the point of intersection for the other leg and the hypotenuse.
