AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric diagram to demonstrate the square of a binomial (a+b)² through dynamic constructions, showing its expansion. Start by drawing coordinate axes and finding their intersection point. Then draw a ray from the intersection point, take a point on the ray, and draw a circle centered at the intersection point with the radius equal to the distance to the point on the ray. Next, draw the perpendicular line from the intersection point to the ray and the circle, and find their intersection points. Connect these points to form lines, and then connect these lines to form four triangles. Finally, rotate one of the triangles to show the geometric meaning of the binomial square.
