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.
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".
Mainly to draw or measure angles of lines or shapes on paper.
It can measure angles, but is NOT normally used for such measurements. Compass angles are measured in bearings. Starting at North (N), which bearing '000'. East is bearing '090', South is bearing '180' and West is bearing '270'. Bearings are measured in angle from the north in a clockwise direction, and ALWAYS quoted as three numbers. Bearing South East (S.E.) is '135'. The navigational compass, like circles, is measured in 360 degrees.

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 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.
No, they measure angles. You're thinking of a "compass"

Degrees are used to measure angles.
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.
