AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a sphere with center F and radius r. Construct two cylinders with base radius r, one with base at A and the other at C. Construct two cones with base radius r, one with apex at B and the other at A. Use plane t to intersect the sphere and cylinders/cones, and connect the intersection points to form a polygon, illustrating Cavalieri's principle.
