AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a unit circle with point A as the center, and mark the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis as point A. Draw circle c with A as the center. Choose point B on circle c, draw line segment AB to form angle α. Choose point E on the x-axis, draw line segments AE and BE to determine the measure of angle α. Draw function g starting from B and ending at x(c). Choose points F and G on the x-axis, draw line segment FG to form line segment a. Choose points I and H on the x-axis, draw line segment IH to form line segment b. Draw line segment AB to form line segment d. Draw line segment J and K to form line segment e. Draw line segment L and M to form line segment i. Draw quadrilateral NOPQ and N_1O_1P_1Q_1.
