Not normally. A protractor is generally used to measure angles.
The compass is used to measure angles. The straightedge is used to draw a straight line. The two items together, are used to measure and draw angles and lines in geometric drawings.
Mainly to draw or measure angles of lines or shapes on paper.
On a compass, 90 degrees means due east. The other device called a compass is used to transfer distance and draw circles, but not to measure angles. It's most likely that the word problem you were looking at meant "east".

A surveyor's compass, or a circumferentor is a device used in surveying to measure horizontal angles. It is used by directing the line of sight.
The least count of a prismatic compass is typically 0.5 degrees. This means that the compass can measure angles accurately to within 0.5 degrees.
The least count of a prismatic compass is typically 0.5 degrees. This means that the compass can measure angles accurately to the nearest 0.5 degrees.
The primary tools used in early astronomy were a compass to measure directions, a sextant (or octant) to measure angles in the sky, a watch and a telescope.
On a compass, 90 degrees means due east. The other device called a compass is used to transfer distance and draw circles, but not to measure angles. It's most likely that the word problem you were looking at meant "east".
You can use a protractor! Draw the baseline and measure the angles and mark them. Then finally join them together!
