Maybe.. You could draw a right angled triangle with the right angle at the origin and a length of 3 on the y axis and 1 on x axis and join the third side which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. By Pythagoras theorem, the length of the third side must be equal to root 10. Measure that length and mark the length on the x axis starting from origin. That'd give you an estimated location(more precise the triangle, more precise the location)

it's too simple
make a triangle of 3 units base and 1 unit perpendicular
then the hypothesis is of root 10
this works as
by Pythagoras therome
base square + perpendicular square = hypothesis square
3^2 + 1^2 = hypothesis square
hypothesis = √(9+1)
hypothesis =√10
Hence proved
just Mahe base between 0 and -3 (3 units)
and perpendicular at -3 of 1 unit
then the hypothesis will be √10 as stated above
now just put the point of your compass at 0
measure the hypothesis
and make a circle
where the circle intersect the positive integer line
that point will be √10
