Ruthie wants to construct a line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to AB. What should Ruthie do first?A) measure the length of segment AB with her compass B) construct two intersecting arcs with centers A and B C) use her straight-edge to draw a line from point P to point A D) construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points
