What are compaases used for?
Answers:
Well, there are two kinds.
One is for orienteering. It has a needle that points north.
The other is for drawing circles. It is like an inverted "V". One end has a point that is the center of the circle and the other end has a pencil attached to draw the circle.
Not getting lost.
A compass is used to navigate North, South, East or West. A pair of compasses is a geometric tool used to draw perfect circles or arcs.
To find direction. when freely suspended a pointed magnet comes to rest pointing to North-South directions.
To confuse you. I can never work 1.
Compasses always points towards the magnetic north pole, and helps us to find a direction.
A compass is used to help you find magnetic North. Once you find that, the other points on the compass can help you determine which way you need to head in order to reach your preferred location.
Compasses are a nifty wee tool that can help you draw the perfect circle - lovely! Watch out for the sharp bit though, it's nasty.
Depends - are we talking geography or maths?!
As you've asked this in the Chemistry section, I can't really tell, but I'm gonna assume maths.
A pair of compasses can be used to draw circles (or imcomplete ones, called 'arcs') to a perfect degree of perfection! They are designed in such a way that you can swivel a pencil (one end of the compass) around a central point (marked by the other end of the compass, a sharp metal point), drawing a perfect arc as it goes.
they are used for constructure of circle
Ya mean compasses, not compaases, isn't it? It "looks" toward the North, so we can know directions.
