AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two complementary angles using a circle and a ray. First, draw a circle and a ray, then find their intersection points. Use one intersection point as the center to draw another circle. Connect the intersection points of the new circle with the ray to form the complementary angles. Decorate the diagram with sectors and vectors to illustrate the dynamic relationship between the angles.
