Where does a compass not point north?
When standing on the Magnetic North Pole, your compass will only South!
What is the difference between a compass and a compass rose?
a compass uses magnets to point north, whereas a compass rose is used on a map to direct north, south, east, and west. to my knowledge a compass rose is only used on a map.
How can you prove that a line segment has only one mid point?
Measure it or bisect it with a compass
What is true compasses?
They only point to the Magnetic NorthA compass is a permanent magnentA compass is a permanent magnet. A compass has both a south pole and a north pole. Compass magnets can be deflected by Earth's magnetic field or other permanent magnets.

Is there ever a time when your compass will not point north?
Your compass will always point to the earth's north magnetic pole. That spot is about 940 miles from the real north Pole. Your compass only points to real north if you happen to be on the extension of the line that joins the two spots. Anywhere else, your compass points to one side or the other of the real north Pole.
Which construction uses the compass for only one step in addition to drawing the circle itself?
The construction that uses the compass for only one additional step, aside from drawing the circle, is the construction of a tangent to a circle from a point outside the circle. In this process, the compass is first used to draw the circle, and then it is used again to find the point where the tangent line touches the circle, typically by constructing a radius to that point and creating a right triangle to determine the tangent's direction.
Is it possible to bisect any given angle using only a straightedge and a compas?
Yes Set the compass at a reasonable width. Put the point of the compass on the point of the angle. Draw an arc on each arm of the angle. With the point of the compass on where one arc intersects one arm of the angle, draw a further arc between the arms of the angle (roughly in the middle). With the point of the compass on the other arc-arm intersection, draw another arc to intersect this just drawn arc. With a straight edge join this intersection to the point of the angle - this line bisects the angle.
Does a compass point to north only in winter?
Nope. It should point that way all the time unless you put a magnet near it and cause the needle to follow that magnet.
What are the steps for constructing a copy of an angle using only a compass and a straightedge?
To construct a copy of an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, start by drawing a base line and marking a point on it where the vertex of the new angle will be located. Next, place the compass point on the vertex of the original angle, draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle, and mark the intersection points. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the new vertex and draw a similar arc that intersects the base line. Finally, use the straightedge to draw lines from the new vertex through the intersection points, creating a copy of the original angle.
What is a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass?
Open the compass to a width greater than half the length of AB.Place the compass point at A.Draw arcs above and below the line AB.Move the compass point to B WITHOUT changing the compass setting.Draw arcs above and below AB to intersect them at X and Y.Join XY.XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.7. Celebrate the successful completion of the task!
You are so simple that you can only point yet you guide men all over the world?
A compass. Of course, compasses guide women, too.
