AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create an animation showing the dynamic relationship between a circle, tangent, and secant lines. Display a line segment connecting two points on the circle, with tangents and secants drawn at these points that change dynamically. Include intersections, angles, rays, arcs, and sectors, then use these elements to construct new circles and sectors, highlighting complex geometric relationships and parametric curves.
