Who decided the points of the compass?
I do not have the least of all idea's "who dicided the points of the compass?... do you?
A is small drawing of arrows that shows directions on a map?
A compass rose shows the direction of north and other directions on the map.Such arrows usually mark the direction of magnetic, or true, or grid north, depending on the type of map used.
How do you use compass rose in a sentence?
You use a compass rose, in case you get lost. A compass rose, gives you all the cardinal directions.
Needle on compass always points to what pole?
The magnetic poles of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS (used to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'Magnetic North'), and do NOT describe their magnetic polarities. As 'unlike poles attract', the north pole of the compass needle points towards Magnetic North, whose polarity must, therefore, be south. By extension, the polarity of Magnetic South is north.
Which pole of compass needle points to a south pole of a magnet is south pole or north pole?
First of all, it's important to understand that the term, 'magnetic north', is a location and has nothing to do with its magnetic polarity. It is called 'magnetic north' to differentiate it from 'true north', because that is where a compass needle points.Originally, the 'north pole' of a magnet (and of a compass needle) was called its 'north-seeking pole' but, over time, the word 'seeking' has been dropped, and we now call it, simply, the 'north pole' -which, by general agreement, is also its magnetic polarity.Since 'unlike poles attract', this means that the magnetic polarity of the location called 'magnetic north' is actually south. Or, to be more accurate, the region deep within the earth below 'magnetic north' is of south magnetic polarity.

What are the compass points called?
Compass points are officially known as cardinal points. They are North, South, East and West. They are the general points of direction used all over the world.
What does the 'compass' tell you?
The compass indicates the direction of magnetic North, from that you can work out South, East, West and all the other points on the compass.
A compass draws all points that are equidistant from a fixed point thereby creating a locus of points for a circle?
A circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a given point, which is the center of the circle, and a circle can be drawn with a compass. (The phrase "locus of points for a circle" does not seem to be conventionally defined.) or true
A compass draws all points a given distance from a fixed point thereby creating a locus of points for a circle?
True
A compass draws all points at a uniform distance from a fixed point thereby creating a locus of points for a circle?
true
In New York state a compass needle points where?
North as it does over all the planet.
How to draw a Hexagon or definition?
A hexagon is a two-dimensional (as on a sheet of paper) figure with six sides.To draw a regular hexagon (one with all sides equal and all angles equal):Using a compass, draw a circle.Keeping the same compass setting, place the rotation point of the compass anywhere on the circumference of the circle and mark the two points where the pen side of the compass crosses the circle (you will now have three points on the circle - the rotation point and the two points where the pen side crossed the circle.Place the rotation point of the compass on either of the two pen crossing points and mark the new point where the pen side of the compass crosses the circle.Repeat until you have six points. If done correctly, these six points will be equal distances apart from each other.Connect the adjacent points with straight lines.
