This browser is useless for graphics so the answer will be a bit clumsy:
1. Place the point of the compass at O, the vertex of the angle, and draw an arc that intersects the two arms of the angle at points A and B.
2. Place the point of the compass at A. Make sure that the radius of the compass is greater than half the distance from A to the other arm of the angle. Draw an arc, inside the angle and in the direction away from O.
3. Move the point of the compass to B without changingthe radius and draw another arc so that it intersects the last arc at C.
4. Join OC. It divides the angle in half.
You cannot because, in addition to a compass, you will also need a straight edge.
Answering this question is not going to be easy with a browser that cannot handle even the simplest graphics, but I will try. It is probably best if you follow these steps using paper and pencil.
Suppose you have rays XO and YO that meet at O and you wish to bisect angle XOY. Put the compass point at O and with any convenient radius draw an arc that intersects XO at P and YO at Q.
Now put the compass point at P and draw an arc inside angle XOY, using a radius that is at least a little more than half the distance between P and Q. Using the same radius, draw an arc with the compass point at Q so that these two arcs intersect at R. The the straight line OR, drawn using the straight edge, will bisect the angle XOY, as required.

What measures 1 fourth of an angle?
Well, honey, if you're talking about a circle, then a quarter of an angle would be 90 degrees. That's because a full circle has 360 degrees, so a quarter would be a nice and neat 90 degrees. So, there you have it, a fourth of an angle measures 90 degrees.

How do you construct angle120 degrees with using a compass?
First draw a horizontal straight line a b Put compass point on a (open compass approximately half the length of line a b - note: ensure the compass is not altered throughout the following). Draw an arc that cuts line a b at c. Put compass point on c and draw an arc from a to cut the first arc at d. Draw a straight line through a d to form a 60 degree angle. For a 120 degree angle, put compass point on dand draw an arc from a to cut the first arc at e. Draw a straight line from a through e to give a second angle of 60 degrees: 60 + 60 = 120 degrees.
What is a bisecting line?
To bisect is to cut or divide into halves. A bisecting line would then be a line that divides another line in half or a line that divides an angle in half.

What is double angle and half angle?
Double angle and half angle in mathematics refer to the formulas used to express trigonometric functions of angles equal to 2a or 1/2a. These are known as the double-angle and half-angle formulas.
Can you create a 90 degree angle using a 45 degree angle?
Since 45 degrees is half of 90, you can use two 45s to make a 90.
