BRAINLIEST ANSWER TO WHOEVER IS FIRST AND GETS IT RIGHT Using only a compass and a straightedge, you are constructing a line perpendicular to AB and passing through a given point, M, on AB . With a compass of set width, you have drawn arcs that intersect ab on each side of M and marked the two intersection points as P and Q. The next step in this construction is to place the compass needle on . A) P and set width to M B) M and set its width beyond P C) P and set its width beyond M D) M and set its width to half the distance between P and M

its A -Place the compass needle on M and keeping the compass width the same, draw two arcs that intersect AB

In the construction of a line perpendicular to AB←→ and passing through an external point M the first step must be"Place the compass needle on M and, keeping the compass width the same, draw two arcs that intersect AB←→". After that you can draw arcs from intersection points (keeping the compass width same as before) to the opposite side of M, name it as N than use straightedge to draw line passes through M and n that would be perpendicular line to AB.

A is the correct answer
