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.

Does a bisector cut an angle in half?
To bisect an angle is to divide the angle in half.
How do you find the measure of an inscribed angle?
You find the arc measure and then you divide it in half to find the inscribed angle
What is the relation between a straight angle and right angle using paper folding method?
a right angle is half of a straight angle
Divides an angle into two equal parts?
if u divide it into 2 equal parts its a half
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.
Does a bisector cut an angle in half?
To bisect an angle is to divide the angle in half.
What measures 1 fourth of an angle?
There are at least two ways to find 1/4 of an angle. One is to measure the angle with a protractor and divide by 4. The other is to use Euclid's straight-edge-and-compass construction for the bisector of the angle. This gives half the angle. Then use the same construction again on the half angle to get one fourth of the original angle.

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 kind of angels are formed if you divide a right angel in half?
A right angle of 90 degrees when divided in half will form 2 acute angles of 45 degrees
What is half of 656?
In math half of the number 656 is the number 328. To determine half of a number in math you can divide the number by two for your answer by longhand or by using a calculator.
What is the measurement of an angle that is half as large as the other angle?
The first angle that is half as large as the other angle is 30º The other angle that is the larger is 60º
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.
One half of a right angle turn?
One half of a right angle is a 45 degree angle.
