How can you construct a perpendicular bisector of a given segment using only two parallel edges of a straightedge with out usign any mesurements on the ruler and compass?
Do I have a compass to use or not ? It's not clear from your question, but since you mentioned it at the end of the question, I'll assume that I do have a compass, and in that case, I only need one straight-edge. 1). Plant the compass on one end of the line segment, open it to more than half the length of the segment, draw a long arc that crosses the segment. 2). Keep the same opening, pick up the compass. 3). Plant the compass on the other end of the segment, draw another long arc that crosses the segment. 4). Sell the compass. 5). The two arcs intersect at two points on opposite sides of the segment. With your straight edge, draw a line between these two points. That line is the perpendicular bisector of the original segment.
Is it true that Opposite angles of a trapezoid are supplementary?
Wouldn't think so, think of a trapezium shaped like a square with a triangle on one side... The angles at one end of the figure are both 90o, and the angles at the other end will be supplementary, but not opposite angles.
Is it possible to contruct a equilateral triangle with a straightedge and a compass?
Yes definitely. Draw a line. Set the compass to the length of that line. Place the point of the compass on one end of the line and prescribe an arc. Place the compass on the other end of the line and prescribe a second arc which intersects the first arc. Where they meet, draw lines to each end of the first line and you will have an equilateral triangle.
How do you use a ruler and compass to construct an equilateral triangle with sides of lingth 6 cm?
Draw a straight line 6cm long. Put the compass point at one end of the line and extend the compass to the other end of the line. Draw an arc of this radius from each end of the line, Join the point where the arcs intersect to each end of the the line and ypu have your equilateral triangle.

Where would you find the direction north?
It is up,think of the north pole.
Does a compass use a magnetic force?
A compass does not "consume" energy as such. It just align according to the magnetic field of the Earth. One end will point North and the opposite End will point South. Note that the Geographic North and South are different from the magnetic North and South. A compass as in the simple ones with a metal pin giving direction, will always point to the Magnetic North.

Why does the north end of a compass point north?
It doesn't.But let's start with a little background. 'True North' and 'True South' are fixed locations that coincide with the earth's axis of rotation. The earth's magnetic field exists between 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South', so-called to distinguish these locations from 'True North' and 'True South'. The locations of 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are always moving relative to the positions of 'True North' and 'True South'.It's important to understand that 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locations, and not the magnetic polarities of these locations!The ends of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. Originally, they were called the 'north-seeking pole' and the 'south-seeking pole' respectively, because those are the directions in which they roughly pointed. Actually, they point to Magnetic North and Magnetic South, not True North or True South. By convention, these names (these days, shortened to 'north' and 'south') also define the magnetic polarities of the compass needle.Because 'opposite poles attract', the magnetic polarity of Magnetic North must be a south pole in order to attract the north pole of a compass needle. And, of course, the magnetic polarity of Magnetic South must be a north pole in order to attract the south pole of a compass needle.

How do you end your friends relationship?
If you're a true friend; you wouldn't end the relationship. If you're talking about a friends relationship with the opposite sex and you know something that would otherwise harm your friend. Then, as a true friend, you would warn him/her about such issues.
