A compass rose is a figure on a map or a nautical chart used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions - north, south, east, and west. It can also be the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass.

How do you construct 175 degree angle using compass?

To construct a 175-degree angle using a compass, start by drawing a straight line and marking a point A on it. Place the compass point on A and draw a large arc across the line, marking the intersection point as B. Now, without changing the compass width, place the compass point on B and draw another arc above the line. Next, set the compass to a smaller width and draw an arc from A, creating an intersection point with the first arc above the line. Finally, connect point A to this intersection point to create the 175-degree angle.
