AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle and place 12 points evenly on its circumference to form a regular dodecagon. Connect adjacent points to complete the shape. Draw a line from the center to one vertex of the dodecagon, then draw a circle above the vertex on the line, perpendicular to it. Rotate points on the circle's circumference around the center at specific angles to create multiple vertices, connecting them to form several smaller polygons that illustrate the area calculation of the circle.
