A compass can be used to measure lengths. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, Nancy knows that the dotted line measures V97 in. If Nancy puts one end of the compass at zero on a number line, where would the other end of the compass touch the number line?

1. between 9.5 in and 10.0 in

2. between 9.0 in and 9.5 in

3. between 8.5 in and 9.0 in

4.
between 8.0 in and 8.5 in
