Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

P (or Q) and draw an arc in the approximate location of the reflection of M across AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arcs drawn from P and Q in the approximate location of the reflection of M across AB will intersect at that point of reflection (M'). The line joining M and M' will be perpendicular to AB and through point M, as desired.
