1 What is the name of the line with which a compass aligns?
The name of the line for the compass alignment is the index line. The line and the numbers around the outside edge can be used to plot a course to a distant object.
Is it possible to contruct a equilateral triangle with a straightedge and a compass?
Yes definitely. Draw a line. Set the compass to the length of that line. Place the point of the compass on one end of the line and prescribe an arc. Place the compass on the other end of the line and prescribe a second arc which intersects the first arc. Where they meet, draw lines to each end of the first line and you will have an equilateral triangle.
How does a compass help you draw a line?

Trisecting a line segment requires a ruler and compass since a straightedge and compass will not be sufficient?
false
When Trisecting a line segment requires a ruler and a compass since a straight edge and compass will not be sufficient?
False
How do you use a ruler and compass to construct an equilateral triangle with sides of lingth 6 cm?
Draw a straight line 6cm long. Put the compass point at one end of the line and extend the compass to the other end of the line. Draw an arc of this radius from each end of the line, Join the point where the arcs intersect to each end of the the line and ypu have your equilateral triangle.
What is the different steps in bisecting a line?
1. first draw a line any measurements 2. then get your compass and place it on the left side of your line remembering that the compass has to be more than halfway open then go up to the middle with ur compass and draw one half of a cross with the compass then draw another half a cross below the line not changing the width of the compass but make sure it is in line with the other half cross now take the compass of your page now place the point on the other side of the line and do the same as i just said then you should get two crosses one above the line and one below the finishing touch is get a ruler and where the crosses meet draw a line strainght the way down and then your done i hope that helped i learnt it in a maths lesson
True or false trisecting a line segment requires a ruler and compass since a straight edge and compass will not be sufficient?
False
How do you construct 80 degree angle using compass and ruler?
Draw a point, and a long straight line through it. Put the centre of the compass over the point, with north on the compass (or zero degrees) on the line. Then draw a second line out from the point at 80 degrees on the compass. You'll then have a 80 degree angle between the lines. It's usually a trick that teachers decide to do on their pupils. A compass is what you use to find north and a pair of compasses is used to draw circles.
