AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the angle between two planes by first taking point B on the x-axis, then constructing a polygon, building a pyramid, and finding the intersection point K of two lines perpendicular to edge BJ. Connect AK and CK, calculate angles AKC, BKC, and BKA, and finally construct plane b passing through points A, K, and C, and calculate angle BAC.
