AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a diagram illustrating vector addition. Start with two free vectors originating from a common point, pointing to two distinct endpoints. Then, construct a line segment connecting these two endpoints, and mark two midpoints on this segment, one near each endpoint. Next, draw two parallel lines through the endpoints, each parallel to the segment. Finally, from the common starting point, draw a new vector pointing to the opposite end of the segment, representing the sum of the two original vectors. The figure should clearly show the geometric construction of vector addition.
