AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle with center at origin and radius 4. Place two points on the circle and connect them with a chord. From one of these points, draw a tangent line to the circle, and pick a point on the tangent. Connect this tangent point to the other circle point. Construct the angle bisector of the angle between the chord and the tangent, and let it intersect the circle at two points. Connect these intersection points to form a triangle. Add several auxiliary points on sides and inside the triangle, creating multiple small triangular and polygonal regions for interactive checking. Label several key angles and measure two side lengths. The overall figure is for step-by-step geometric proof practice.
