AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle and a tangent line. The center of the circle is point O, and the radius is B. The tangent line starts from point B and touches the circle. The line segment from O to B is the radius. The tangent line is perpendicular to the radius at point B. Use tools like circle, point, and tangent to construct this figure.
