AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a regular hexagon and show the calculation of its area. First, construct the hexagon, then draw line segments from the center to adjacent vertices and mark their intersection points. Measure the central angle and draw line segments from the center to the vertices, finally showing the relationships between these key points and segments to understand the area calculation of the hexagon.
