AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and its related rectangle to demonstrate how to calculate the area of both shapes. Start by drawing the base of the triangle, then draw a perpendicular line from one vertex to create the rectangle's top side. Take a point on the perpendicular line, draw a horizontal line from it to meet the base at another point. From this point, draw a perpendicular line to the base, meeting it at a point. Finally, construct the triangle and rectangle using these points and lines, labeling key points and segments to illustrate area calculations and geometric relationships.
