Given distinct straight lines $ OA$ and $ OB$. From a point in $ OA$ a perpendicular is drawn to $ OB$; from the foot of this perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OA$. From the foot of this second perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OB$; and so on indefinitely. The lengths of the first and second perpendiculars are $ a$ and $ b$, respectively. Then the sum of the lengths of the perpendiculars approaches a limit as the number of perpendiculars grows beyond all bounds. This limit is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {b}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac {a}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac {ab}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac {b^2}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac {a^2}{a \minus{} b}$
