Is a compass used to measure angles?
Not normally. A protractor is generally used to measure angles.
Why is there a need to use a straightedge and compass to construct geometric figures?
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.
What is the use of a geometry compass?
Mainly to draw or measure angles of lines or shapes on paper.
How you can measure 90 degree angle with compass?
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".
Which is better to draw a circle a protractor or a compass?
A compass because a protractor is for measuring angles
What is the instrument used to measure angles is the?
The instrument you are looking for is a compass
Do proctractors contruct a circle?
No, they measure angles. You're thinking of a "compass"
How do you use a surveyors compass?
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.
What is astronomy equipment?
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.
How do you draw a triangle without using a compass or ruler?
You can use a protractor! Draw the baseline and measure the angles and mark them. Then finally join them together!
What household items have acute angles?
Compass
Why do you think the numbers go both ways in a protractor?
To make it convenient to measure angles in either direction.
An isosceles triangle has two angles that each measure 40 degrees what is the measure of the third angle?
A triangles angles have to add up to 180 degrees so since there are two angles that measure 40 it is 180-80=100(answer.)
If three angles of a quadrilateral measure 90 87 and 90 what is the measure of the fourth angle?
Calculate the fourth angle so that the sum of the angles is 360 degrees.Calculate the fourth angle so that the sum of the angles is 360 degrees.Calculate the fourth angle so that the sum of the angles is 360 degrees.Calculate the fourth angle so that the sum of the angles is 360 degrees.
In this parallelogram the measure of b exceeds the measure of a by 30 What is the measure of c?
In a parallelogram adjacent angles are supplementary, so angles are 75 degrees (A & C) and 105 degrees (B & D).
Given two parallel lines with a transversal if one of the angles measures 50 degrees what are the measures of all the other angles?
All acute angles measure 50 degrees. All obtuse angles are supplementary to the acute angles, so they measure 130 degrees.
What is the sum of the angles of right angles?
Right angles are 90°. The total measure of a triangle is 180°. So, the sum of the other two angles must equal 90°.
