AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle centered at the origin with a given radius. Mark the intersection of the circle with the positive x-axis. Rotate a point on the circle around the center by an angle to create a new point, and label the angle. From the new point, draw perpendiculars to both axes, marking the feet, and connect them to the new point with segments. Also connect the center to the new point as a radius. Additionally, draw a horizontal ray and a vertical ray outside the circle, intersecting the axes, and connect those intersections with a segment. Adjust the coordinate axes to fit the entire figure.
