  2. PointIn(a) → C
  3. Point(c) → D
  4. LineBisector(D, C) → p
  5. Ray(A, D) → g
  6. Intersect(p, g) → H
  7. Segment(D, H) → h
  8. Segment(H, C) → i
  9. Segment(A, D) → f
  10. Midpoint(D, C) → E
  11. Segment(D, E) → j
  12. Segment(E, C) → k
  13. Point(p) → F
  14. Angle(C, E, F) → α

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a plane configuration starting with two points A and B and a circle c determined by them. Choose a point C on the circle and place point D corresponding to that point. Construct the bisector line p associated with points D and C. From A draw a ray g passing through D, and find its intersection with p as point H. Draw the segments DH (h), HC (i), and AD (f). Compute the midpoint E of DC and draw segments DE (j) and EC (k). Finally, take point F on p and mark the angle α at points C, E, and F.
