AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a unit circle and mark points A and B on the x-axis. Use A and B as the center and radius to draw the unit circle c. Take a point C on circle c, draw segment AC and measure angle ∠BAC as α. Draw a perpendicular line from C to the y-axis, and a parallel line from A to the y-axis. The intersection of these two lines is point F, then draw segment FC.
