AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a pentagon with five randomly generated vertices and connect them to form a closed shape. Inside the pentagon, mark three triangles, each consisting of two adjacent vertices and one diagonal, and measure and label the interior angles of each triangle. Sum all the interior angles and provide a list of possible answers, including one incorrect angle for the user to choose the correct one.
