Using only a compass and a straightedge, you are constructing a line perpendicular to and passing through a given point M on . With a compass of set width, you have drawn arcs that intersect on each side of M and marked the two intersection points as P and Q. What is the next step in the next step in the construction? A.
Place the compass needle on P and set its width to M.
B.
Place the compass needle on M and set its width beyond P.
C.
Place the compass needle on P and set its width beyond M.
D.
Place the compass needle on M and set its width to half the distance between P and M.
