constructing congruent angles
A 10 degree angle cannot be constructed using only a compass and straight edge.
An angle of 65° can not be trisected using a compass and straight edge.
Constructions that are impossible using only a compass and straightedge include Trisecting an angle Squaring a circle Doubling a cube
No, it is not possible to construct a cube of twice teh volume of a given cube using only a straightedge and a compass.
True
A geometric compass is considered a simple machine because it only has one main moving part that enables it to perform its function of drawing circles and arcs.
Only two legs means there is always a direction that is not supported. Try balancing a drawing compass on the two points.
When standing on the Magnetic North Pole, your compass will only South!
False. It is impossible to trisect any angle using only a compass and straightedge, as proven by Pierre Wantzel in 1837. While some angles can be trisected using these tools, the general case for all angles cannot be achieved through classical construction methods.
To construct a copy of an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, start by drawing a base line and marking a point on it where the vertex of the new angle will be located. Next, place the compass point on the vertex of the original angle, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle, and mark the intersection points. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the new vertex and draw a similar arc that intersects the base line. Finally, use the straightedge to draw lines from the new vertex through the intersection points, creating a copy of the original angle.
A 10 degree angle cannot be constructed using only a compass and straight edge.
a compass uses magnets to point north, whereas a compass rose is used on a map to direct north, south, east, and west. to my knowledge a compass rose is only used on a map.
A compass - can only indicate a direction to travel. A GPS receiver - can not only show you which direction to go, but how far away you are from your destination.
when you do a drawing using only lines
The only thing I can think of -In a Christian sense- is the traditional orientation of some Churches towards the Eastern Axis-which is best done in the pre-construction phases- with a compass or better yet, a Theodolite. It has been argued that the word Theodolite may imply ( Eye of God) then again it is interesting to note certain hymns suggest guidance paths on the Right spiritual course- such as Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me- and that suggests a compass.

They only point to the Magnetic NorthA compass is a permanent magnentA compass is a permanent magnet. A compass has both a south pole and a north pole. Compass magnets can be deflected by Earth's magnetic field or other permanent magnets.
