A compass and straight edge are used to create a polygon but do not limit the number of sides of the polygon created. You have to decide that separately, then use the compass and straight edge to make what you decide on.

A ruler has markings, a straight edge does not. In "straight edge and compass" constructions, you are not allowed to mark the straight edge. Things that are impossible using only a straight edge and compass are possible if markings are allowed (for example, it's possible to trisect an angle using a marked straight edge).
